bones1918 Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 My new-to-me 09 journey just surprised me when I opened the door in the dark for the first time and no light came on. Hit the switch.. nada. Manually hit the lights, still nothing. The manual is kind of cryptic in what fuse to check. I know they replaced the headliner because the previous wonder was a smoker.. could they have failed to re-connect the cabin lights? Wouldn't it throw a code?

Armando G Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 I don't want to ask the obvious question of checking the bulb, figuring that was done. Before assuming something wasn't connected I would do a circuit test to see if you are getting any power to it. That should determine if it is connected or not. Otherwise, I would personally bring it back if you bought it from a dealer. I don't believe this would cause it to their a code though. 2late4u and jkeaton 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bones1918 Posted August 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 >obvious question of checking the bulb its not the bulb. It's every light in the car and there are several. Ill just bring it back to the used car dealer rather than fool with a multimeter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty256 Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 are you sure the dimmer switch for the dash is not in the off position. there is one position on the light switch stalk that will prevent the inside lights from coming on with the door open jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bones1918 Posted August 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 Hm. They said it was a fuse, but I literally checked every fuse. I asked which fuse in case it happened again and they said on the mechanic will call me. Yah right lol. I think they forgot to re-connect the harness when the pulled out the headliner and didn't want to admit it because it's such an embarrassing mistake. At any rate, all better now.
