    Lighting Mess Question !!

    I removed the ashtray to cleanup and change the illuminating bulb when suddenly the bulb wires touched the cigarette lighter and everything went dark, I changed fuse 23 which had blown but still the cluster, cigar lighter, ashtray lights, OBC lights, climate controls, Right brake n front signal lights, side markers and license plate lights are all out. The bulbs are not burnt but they aren't lighting up.

    Anyone with some insight what needs done?

        You mightve blown two separate fuses, check to see if there are anymore blown.

            I did something crazy like that to my interior lights. I just had to swap out the headlight switch. It has that rheostat function for the interior lights that acted like a fuse.
