Interior lights out on navi panel.

Hi guys, I was driving home last night and the led lights on the navi control panel just went dark..also the shift plate lights went out...could it be a fuse? If it is, where is this fuse located? Thanks!!!!

Yeah. Look in the fuse panel that is next to the coolant reservoir. I'm willing to bet your tail lights are out too. It's the 15a tail lamp fuse. I had a hard time finding out what was causing mine to blow randomly, and I found out that it was the dome light switch; it was falling apart and I guess shorting something out. Check your dome light switch, does it feel "slushy" almost? If so, yours is probably failing too. Mine just randomly started going bad and and would blow that fuse every couple of days.

Any time. Glad you found it. If the fuse blows again in a few days, check out the dome light switch.

Hey Crime, the dome switch is a little spongy. Do i need to replace the switch? How much does this cost? Thank you

Yep, If it's spongy then that's what was causing your fuse to blow. You need to replace the entire dome/map light assembly. From what I've read it can cost about $100 for a replacement and it can be kinda difficult to find at local yards. I managed to get my switch in a position where the fuse stopped blowing, and I just never touched the switch again . So far, my fuses have not blown ever since. If you'd like, you can take the switch apart and perform a temporary fix so that the switch will perform in "auto" mode at all times. Check out this link:
