HELP! Interior lights NOT coming on!!!!!!!

Alright, so I just finished changing out the climate control LEDs for my Max, and was putting everything back together when...POOF

All of the light on the inside went out! (Door sills, instrument cluster, radio buttons, etc...)

I checked the fuses, but maybe there is one I am missing? Has this happened to anyone before?

Most likely your fuse went out. Check your fuses again.

Did you check all fuse and relay boxes (under hood and under steering wheel)?

Yeah, it's gotta be one of the fuses...I checked all the fuses under the hood, they seem OK

Anyone have any idea which fuse would control the lights for the instrument cluster? The damn fuse panel doesn't tell you diddly squat

its way easier with a test light if you got one. stab a fuse and move on to the next

Yeah, I don't want to tell anyone the horror story of what happened when the climate control buttons came undone when I first started this job - WOW, talk about a disaster!!!!!!!

It took me 3 hours to get the buttons back together, and the climate control bulbs have all been switched out. to be honest with you, it was all worth it because it looks f'n amazing. I will post pics as soon as I can figure out why the hell I am not getting any lights inside

It's gotta be a fuse, whichever one controls the lights to the instrument cluster.

Yeah, it may boil down to that. But like I said, whichever bulb controls the lights to the instrument cluster is our bad seed.
