Courtesy Lights are all dead!!???
Last evening when I shut down, no interior lights. Just the instrument cluster. I tried the instrument dimmer ****, no lights. I tried the push buttons next to the overhead lights, still nothing. All fuses are good.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Plus, even with the sensor sensing daytime, wouldn't the manual buttons still work?

Do you hear a click from the rear fuse block when you try and turn them on? I would check the relay "INT LP" which is responsible for providing power to this circuit. You may also have a bad ground somewhere. Failing this, the news may not be good. Interior lamp control, including dimming is controllled by the rear integration module. This would be where I would check next if everything else has been ruled out.

I will check the relay - just because it clicks doesn't mean it works.
Also, I don't know what or how things are supposed to operate given that the sensor now says it'* daylight. I would think that I should be able to override what it wants to do by using the manual switches. :?

We'll see...
