Check your 7.5A "room" fuse again (covers your clock, interior/spot lights, courtesy lights, cargo light, and radio), in the cabin fuse box, either the top or next row down...

The glove box light, only works when the parking lights are on... if it is not working then your parking lights are not working or you have a bad bulb.

gauges are a different circuit than dome/interior lights.

Your post is not clear.. are the gauge and parking lights out, or is it the interior lights (dome, doors, key )???

If it is the parking lights, glove box and gauge lights; why didn't you read the FAQ for FC at the top of the section before posting? It is covered there. You probably have a bad light switch.

If it is the dome/interior lights then the room fuse is probably blown or you have bad door jam switch(es).

i have a similar issue,

My interior lights WERE working (dome, door, key, door sensor), and when we were cleaning out the car for inspection they stopped working (as well as the "door ajar" light remains on).

I thought we may have accidently knocked something loose. Well, Later on when i was fixing the rear wiper, i was checking fuzes, and saw a 20 fuze where the 7.5 was suposed to be for ROOM. So i poped in a 7.5 and that blew as soon as i reconected the battery. So i knew there must be a short somewhere. We check the drivers side door, and found 2 wires, one is blue and white striped i know. and we found there was something fishy with it when we were using the thingy with the needles to test electrical stuff. So we unplugged the wire that lead from the door into the fuze box thing, and it came clean. So we THINK that the short must be in the RATS NEST of wires next to the fuze box.

Thoughts? Sugestions on resolving this?

Thanks

Either you're on the wrong fuse, or a PO has rigged the heck out of your electrical system...
