[bigT5]

in my 1996 chevy cheyenne k1500 the lights in the cab dont work the two that you can click on with the buttons used to till i was trying to get the dome light to work and touched my screwdriver to something and fried it the fuse didnt blow its fine i even tried replacing it is there something else that i could have blown or something??? none of the lights work not even my glove box light now the dash lights do but none of the lights that are there so you can see what are some possible problems?? thanks

O also the light on the passenger side that is kind of up under the dash that bulb is burnt out at the moment but the two click lights still worked but could that still have something to do with it??

Curtesy and dome lights are turned on by a ground circuit.

Check for 12 volt power to them.

Then ground the ground wire to them and see if they come on.

The dome light switch should be checked for proper grounding of curesty /dome light circuit.
If it is working good it should ground curesty light threw it and door jam switches should also grout them threw the dome light switch.

A good wiring digram and a test light or volt/ohm meter is needed to check them out.

Remeber you have to have 12 volts to the lights and and a good ground circut to get them on.
