No dash or interior lights
Each time I turn on my headlights I blow the interior light fuse. Any ideas where to start. Thanks!!

Re: No dash or interior lights
Start tracing wires, you have a knicked wire grounding out. I would start at the headlights and work my way back to the switch

Re: No dash or interior lights
yea if you accidentally grounded out the illumination wire of your cig lighter (rare on most models) or stereo that will blow everytime you turn on your headlights.

Re: No dash or interior lights
Okay cig lighter may be the issue but would it still work if it did ground? I plugged in my cell phone charger to it and it worked so is that still a feasible cause??? I have been tracing wires and half the dash is torn apart and no signs of a ground power wire. Let me know what you guys think if the cig lighter would cause this and still work. Thanks a bunch

Re: No dash or interior lights
does the fuse only pop when you turn the headlights on,or does it also pop when you turn the parking lights on.

BTW I have not performed any stereo mods or installed a new stereo, this problem happened "all of a sudden".

Re: No dash or interior lights
Found the problem!!! I had a rodent guest who decided to infiltrate my console and build himself a nest out of my stereo wires. But I fixed it today, Thanks for the great ideas and direction!!
