Vz commodore

[Sharna-99]

Hi all I’m new here.
I own a 2006 vz commodore and tonight I decided to switch out the boring yellow interior lights to blue bolbs….anyways..I successfully changed the sunglasses roof lamp fine but when I tried to change the back driver side I accidentally touched the metal on the metal part of the globe….long story short my interior lights started to flicker and then just stopped working. Now it won’t work at all. Dash lights still work perfectly fine. Anyways suggestions would be highly appreciated
Cheers!

Below the steering column, that panel comes open. Pull outwards and down from the top edge. It’s hinged at the bottom. Behind there is the fuse panel. There will be a blown fuse.

Thanks mate I did do that and tried to swap the interior illum relay for another one and didn’t work, would there be another fuse related to this?

Are you sure you checked all the fuses thoroughly?

Also, put the old bulbs back in. Check the fuse for continuity. Use a multimeter with the probes on those two exposed bits on the fuse.

If the ones you bought at faulty or damaged, they might be affecting the circuit. So get the old ones back in, sort the power to the circuit and restore circuit integrity.

Test your bulbs off the car with a 9v battery and some probes clipped to the battery and touch the ends with the probes. If not working, swap the polarity around and they should work. If not, they are rooted.

Get ones that work in. Be super careful this time. Enjoy the effects you wanted.

Of note, this is also the lady that did lots of videos for i-fixit who make iPhone repair products, Mac repair parts and they work out how to fix the “designed not to be fixed” devices we use.

Sounds like the universe is telling you something about blue interior lights....
