ghost lights?

Hey guys. Somthing strange happened with my interior lights last night. My Car was running and I was parked on side of road and when I got back in the interior lights were on and started flickering a bit. After about 5 minutes I hit a bump in the road and they turned off. I did just change the fuse for the lights the day before this happened. anybody know why this happened lol

Re: ghost lights?

sounds like you could have a wire grounding out, trying going thought the system and look for loose,burt, or half connected wires or even non connected wires. electrical issues suck but if you just take your time and go step by step. with a cool level head it will be alot easier. goood luck

Maybe you didn't seat your fuse all the way and it fell out?

that happened to me... turned out I didn't have the door closed all the way, and the button on the jam wasn't fully depressed. I bet it has something to do with the door jam
