Default Interior Lights stopped working

Have replace all the interior lights ( dome, map, door etc ) with LED's and they look great. My trunk light stopped working and went to replace that and must have broken a wire. I blew the fuse and had Lexus repair the wire.

So I get the car back yesterday and try and put the LED in the trunk, pop out the factory bulb, put the LED in and no luck, reverse the bulb, no luck. Now put the factory bulb in, no luck and all my lights are out on that circuit and its not a blown fuse, even tried to change the fuse incase.

Any ideas? BTW 2014 ES350

you must have caused a short while replacing the light bulb again and blew a fuse. How else would you explain the whole circuit goes out. Maybe you broke a wire again.

Turns pout a blown fuse that could barley be seen and the replacement fuse was bad also

Now the Lexus Tech wired the trunk light on all of the time, so they need to rewire again. This is getting old!

Ask them to install the led light while at it, so you don't have to play withe it again

I don't want to give them a excuse to charge me because I did something wrong in thier eyes. I just take the fuse out while I change the bulb and no problem. I changed 12 bulbs without a problem till the trunk bulb

The trunk light has a different assembly than the other lights. That's why you had a problem with it
