Default So I left my lights on....

I jump into my car goto start nothing, Ok batterys dead, I notice I left the light combination switch on for nighttime driving... Not a big deal charge the battery up. Off I goto work.... Now on my way home I notice that my interior gauge lights dont' work and neither does my climate control lights, nor does my turn signal lights, rear lamps, or my side rear bumper lights...

I checked over every fuse relay in the car, nothing is blown, and everything checks out. But I still cannot figure out what is gone wrong...

The sound doesn't chime either when I leave my lights on inside the car with it off... Which is leading me to believe thats why I accidentally left them on the first place, because it always reminds me and I just turn em off.

Any ideas?

Check your fuses again, I guarantee that you overlooked something. Also, don't forget to check the fuse box under the hood... Something similar happened to me when I blew the under hood hazard fuse. gl!

I checked every single fuse, and every delay relating to the lights, checked all wiring connections everything

On a sidenote, my fuel gauge and temp gauge all work fine. As well as my stereo.

You blew your interior lighting fuse. Check it, check it again, replace it with another fuse, check it a few more times. I'm positive that's the one. I had the exact same problem when I blew mine.

Its inside the fusebox inside the car correct?

Also why is the interior lighting effecting my rear lamps and front signals. All on same circut?

Ok I figured it out... The dash fuse block where the combination light switch plugs into the fuse block, just had to be unplugged then plugged back in. Works now.
