Exclamation none of my interior lights work!

so i get my LED lights to replace the stock bulb in the trunk/cargo area. i use a knife to remove the old bulb and put in the new LED bulb and............................nothing

now none of the interior lights work. i can't figure out which fuse is blown. i definitely didn't cut a wire. the map lights, the dome lights, the trunk/cargo, and even the courtesy step lights. WTF?!?!

anyone have any insight, suggestions, anything? and no, i'm not in the mood to pull every fuse to see which it is.

MODS: feel free to move this to the lighting forum.

Put back the old lamps and check if they still dont work, supposing if they do work, then it is not the fuse, it have to be one of your LEDs are not specd and they are shorting the Relay. If they dont still work then Now target the Fuse box located below the driver footwell area, and remove the covers, replace the fuse as per the list mentioned on the cover internal side. If you have any tool to check each bulb continuity, that would be great, that way the LED Bulb (black sheep) could be replaced out. Now Check out with only one Interior Lamp assy by replacing the LED and check out the continuity.
Also check the Relay from the Fuse box located in the Engine bay area also.
hope this helps

The exact same problem happened to me not too long ago. I found out from owner's manual which indicates fuse# 25 (if I remember correctly and it's 10AMP color red)
was blown out. As mann777 pointed out the fuse box is located in the engine bay. As
soon as I replaced the fuse all interior lights were back.
