Glove Compartment and Storage Bins - Lights?

So, what's the deal with these interior lights? None of mine work, I changed the bulbs (159). I figured I would ask before I go troubleshooting and possibly break something.

Did you check the fuses?

LOL, I will not even dignify that with an answer! I am thinking it might be the switches, but didn't want to tear it all apart in case I was missing some magical way to make them all light.

I figured you had, but it would've been far worse to recommend taking out all of those pieces to do more advanced troubleshooting and then find out it was just a fuse

If none of them at all work, I'd start by checking continuity from the fusebox to the bulb sockets (with the switches in the circuit closed position). I find it unusual that all the bulbs would fail at the same time. After that, I'd move on to the switches.

Good idea. I just went through something similar with the power antenna. The idiot that had the car before me changed out the hatch struts and damaged the ground wire in the process. That one took a while to figure out. But all good now. So, I hope its something simple here.

Something could be up with the headlight switch. I would swap it out.
