    Hi new to the page, I swapped my interior map lights with LEDs and they work fine, went to do the same with the dome recently and now none of them work, checked all my fuses and they’re fine what am I missing? Also don’t want to take it to a shop/dealer tight on money so trying to do what I can.

    *UPDATE* - Put in stock lights, blew fuse, then swapped fuse and everything is in working order!! Thanks all for advice!

    Check the on / off / door switch also. Also close the doors and try again, if the doors stay open for a long time it will shut off all the interior lights

    Tried that, I restarted the truck just to be sure, but like stated above I’m about to go buy new stock ones and replace. I got the stock dome (DE3022) this morning but it seemed to big. Is that the wrong type?

    LEDs are polarity-sensitive. Try reversing them socket.

    I’ve read so many stories like this on here. I’m leaving my interior lights stock, even though they do suck.:)

    The instructions I used mentioned polarity. It also mentions to test them in each area installed prior to putting lens cover back on.

    It's a 50/50 crap-shoot getting them to light up first time...because of polarity.

    Change the DOME fuse (7.5A) with known new one. Did you do this while you had juice to the circuit?

    Hopefully, replacing the fuse fixed the problem. If not, there may be possible damage to the BCM (Body Control Module).

    I plugged mine without checking polarity and it all worked fine. Does it differ between aftermarket brands? Mine were the MESO maps and dome.
