I have done a bit of seaching but I am unable to find what I am looking for.

My puddle lights are not working but my interior lights are. I am under the impression that the interior lights and and puddle lights are linked to the same fuse. Can anyone confirm this or help with the issue?


Also my trunk light is out but I havent really dug into that issue yet.

Try checking the manual for the fuse links with what components.

I checked but didnt seem to be my issue. Maybe I looked at the wrong fuse though. is there one that controls the lights?

Trunk light has its own switch, beside light.

DId you replace the puddle lights with LED's ?

Yes I did, I also bought another set thinking those might be bad. I have fliped the bulb due to polarity as well. nothing is working

Switch by the trunk light doesnt work either.

Did you try back the stock bulbs to see if they light up? If not, sounds like a fuse is probably shot.

I bought the car and it had PINK LED's in them. I changed for obvious reasons .

Which fuse controls the puddle mirrors for sure? I know we have like 4 fuse boxes

Check the owners guide link which I mentioned earlier above or have a look at your owners manual. It lists which fuse associates with what components.

They don't normally come on unless I use the key fob specifically.

the fuse for your puddle lights is under the hood (left side box) by air intake! it is a 10 amp fuse marked DOME on the under side of the box pull and check or replace to be sure! hope this helps..your spare fuses are in (right side box) under the hood.

Good morning,

I am finding that my puddle lights are not working. This thread suggests that the 10A fuse marked "DOME" controls these lights. However, I had to replace this fuse to fix a problem I caused installing LEDs in the lights in the doors, so I know the fuse is good, but still no puddle lights.

Any other ideas? I'm not seeing anything in the owners manual referencing a fuse for these lights.

Thanks!

try putting the stock bulbs back in and see if it light up.

I am having the same problem but i installed the LED lights. it worked for more than a year but now noticed the lights doesn't come on anymore. the rest of my lights are working so i'm going to revert back to stock and see what will happen

Trolling55,

I did not replace the puddle lights. they are still stock. I replaced the lights in the doors. When I did, a fuse blew, and I replaced it. The door lights (and the rest of the interior lights driven by that fuse) all work fine now. It's the puddle lights in the side view mirrors that do not work.

I don't know this as fact, but I don't think they've worked since I got the car in October. I don't remember seeing them on. I could be wrong. But I didn't even know they were there until I was doing some research on how to replace the map lights (the three small round lights on each side of the overhead console - which appear to be un-replaceable. They are part of a circuit board in the overhead console).

I appreciate the help, but I don't believe that is the issue.

While looking at another thread on this topic, I saw a comment about using the key fob to engage these lights. When I got home from work yesterday, I gave it a try, and they did come on. It took some unknown sequence of pushing buttons to make them come on, but I had to "use the facilities" quickly, and didn't take the time to work through how it is done. In fact, they were still on when I left the garage, and I had to go back a few minutes later to make sure they turned off (which they had).

So they work, and no blown fuse. But I'll need to experiment with how to get them to come on. Based on my reading, they might only come on if you hit the key fob. If so, that's a bit silly to me. I would have guessed the purpose of the push button ignition is to allow you to keep the fob in your pocket rather than fumble around with it. These lights seem to defeat this purpose.

Thanks for trying to help!
