Default Need Help! Interior Lights Out.

So I noticed the other day that all the interior lights aren't working (dome light, 2 reading lights, vanity mirror lights and glove box light).

I tried finding the fuse since I'm thinking that's all it could be but I'm having trouble finding the right one. I checked every fuse that seems like it might be the one but the descriptions in the manual are really vague and there doesn't seem to be a real obvious one. So far I haven't had any luck.

Anyone have an idea of which fuse it might be or what I should check next? I'd rather not make a trip to the dealer for something small like this since it's a bit of a trek to get there.

Which dealership? Southgate?

If it were me, I wouldnt mess around in there and just take it to the dealer whenever I could find some time.

Can't say I've used the interior lights enough to comment on their reliability. The closest that I've experienced is occasional dimming/flickering of the NAV in day map mode.

It might be something very simple like a fuse, or indication of more complicated problem.
I would take it for check up, even though it might be inconvenient for you.
Usually fuse shouldn't give up on new car, or any car for that matter, so if it does - it's worth to check it why it blew.

Have you checked the manual? there is a section on fuse location. This for sure a blown fuse.

Looked through the fuse list in the manual, nothing really jumps out as being the fuse for interior lights. The descriptions they have for the fuses are pretty vague. I checked several that I thought might be the right ones but didn't find anything blown.

Just check them all, 15 min and you will know if it's a fuse. If this is the 2011 I'd be at the deaership for sure. Fuses don't blow themselves.
