Default Blown Fuse or something else? Interior lights

My interior lights stopped working this morning, as did the back light for heater controls etc. Is this a blown fuse, or do I need to visit the bastard dealer?

ha ha "bastard dealer", do you not like your local dealer?? They are usually an honest bunch of people trying to help you out with your needs.

What dealer do you speak of? I haven't met an honest one yet.

Did you check the dimmer switch on the turn signal stalk? My wife complained about the same thing, till I turned it up. It will turn off the dome light on it's lowest setting. Makes seeing the HVAC controls very hard as well....

Smile Adjust Your Stalk Switch

MY LITE STALK CONTROLS THE INTERIOR LITES. OPEN YOUR DOOR AND SPIN YOUR DOME LITE RING ON THE STALK UNTIL YOUR INTERIOR LITES FLICK ON. THIS WILL GIVE YOU A '' FEEL'' ABOUT THE PROPER SWITCH POSITION. ALSO IF YOUR HEADLITES ARE STAYING ON AFTER VEHICLE SHUTDOWN AND YOU HAVE TO TURN YOUR HEADLITES OFF TWICE TO GET THEM TO GO OUT, THEN CHECK YOUR LITE STALK INNERMOST RING FOR THE TIMER ADJUSTMENT. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO INFO I CAN FIND IN OWNER LITERATURE CONCERNING THIS HEADLITE TIMER. HOPE THIS HELPS........
