Default Help! Interior Lights won't come on!

Hey guys, last night I noticed none of my interior lights come on. I tried the the ON/OFF button, DOOR button nothing worked. Here are the lights I noticed won't work.

Dome lights (map lights included)
Door courtesy lights
Sills lights
trunk light
vanity lights

I tried everything I could think of and nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you check #9 Fuse in Engine compartment?

#9 is 10A fuse for interior lights, meter.

Sango seems like you are right, my DOME fuse it is blown. I will head over to RadioShack later today to buy a replacement. Will update.

Well I had the fuse replaced, lights are now back ... but noticed my driver puddle doesn't turn on now... It probably needs me to turn it around or something.

Were you able to get the puddle lights on? All my interior lights just went out on me earlier tonight. I just had some subs installed last week. I was messing around with the trunk earlier today and noticed the trunk light wires were a little stripped. Maybe just shorted. I'm going to wrap it up with electrical tape in the morning and check the fuse. Hopefully that's all it is and nothing to do with the sub installation.
