    Taco World I know this question is on here somewhere. Was installing new LED lights inside. While changing the vanity light I put new bulb on wrong (positive w/negative) saw small sparks. Now all interior lights don’t work. Everything else does and check fuses (weren’t blown). Any idea what went wrong?

    It’s a fuse. Check the ones under the hood and the ones under the steering wheel using a multimeter or fuse tester?

    I will do so. I’m new to this stuff. Even if fuse is not broken it can still be bad? Would you know what exact fuse to check under the hood and under steering wheel?

    There is a diagram on the fuse panel covers. Check the dome fuse under the hood especially but check all others.

    Yeah just probe the top of the fuse(s) with a test light...should have power on both pins of the fuse. The dome is negative trigger hopefully you didn’t blow the circuit board in the overhead console although you wouldn’t be the first.
