interior lights wont come onNewbie Thread Starter
Join Date: Jan 2015 Posts: 2 Likes: 0 Received 0 Likes on 0 Posts Model: Cherokee Contrary to all the posts about interior lights blinking or not going off, mine won't come on. The fuse under the dash (10a) was good but changed anyway. Not only do they not come on when doors open, but not even when turning dash light dimmer up or pushing the overhead map lights. Help. This is very annoying. Seasoned Member

Not 100% on when they might have switched over but on my 2000 the dome light fuse is a blue 15amp under the hood in the power dist. center. I would check there for good measure. There's a small group of fuses in the center. The bottom right mini fuse is the one your looking for. Seasoned Member

On my 99 the front passenger door doesnt light up but every other door does, it may be the switch thats in the door jamb. Newbie Thread Starter

Why won't my interior lights turn on?Wiring Problems, Shorts, and Interior Lights
In most cases, a blown interior light fuse means that there's some kind of short somewhere in the system. It may be a permanent fault, or it may be temporary, but the only way to know for sure is to replace the fuse and see what happens.
Why wont my dome light turn on when I open the door?If the dome light does not come on, the switch may be in the wrong position or there may be a problem with the vehicle. Typical problems with dome lights include burnt-out bulbs and blown fuses.
