interior lights not working?

[OfficerEdith]

with the exception of the lights in my dash, all of the interior lights in my car stopped working
i checked the fuses and they all seem fine
i dont know what else it could be?

any suggestions?

Relays or check the circuitry

:werd: relay/fuse
-did you do anything to cause the interior lights not to work?
-Are the bulbs all burnt (unlikely)
narrow down the possibilities

[OfficerEdith]

sorry im not much of an electronics guy
what are relays?
where are they usually located?

[Grogador]

probably in a black box under the hood, take the top off and there'll be a bunch of fuses and black relays in it... not sure they'd have a relay for such a small load... check the fuses more carefully, or with a multimeter

so none of the doors, nor trunk will trigger lights? if it's just one, try fiddling with the door-switch... little nipple in doorframe that presses in when you close the door usually...

even if i try to turn the lights on manually it wont work
ill check for relays though
thanks

Fuse. Check your fuse box. Should be either a box in your engine bay or in the driver's side footwell. Your owner's manual will say.

Interior lights rarely ever use relays.

What's the car?
I'm assuming it's an Infiniti.
It's likely the TCU (time control unit),
it's for all internal lighting and intermittent wiper speed

i found the burnt out fuse
