Hello,

I've a 2014 Honda CRV. None of the interior lights are working - Map Lights, Ceiling Lights or the lights on the Sun Visor. The little blue light next to the Map Light is on.

The switch (next to the Map lights) is set to Door.

I checked/replaced the fuse under the hood - fuse # 28

I also replaced the Map light bulbs - but no luck.

Any assistance anyone can provide in helping identify the issue would be much appreciated.

Thank You!

 

Verify first whether it is a power (+) issue or a ground (-) issue.

Measure if there is power on the orange wires going to the map light, ceiling light, or vanity mirror lights. If there is power present on the orange wire, then check for continuity to ground on the respective component's black wire.

 

Hi - Can i check for power with a multi-meter? and how do i check for continuity to ground?

Thanks!

 

To measure voltage:

1. Generally for most car components, unless your meter is auto-ranging, set the voltmeter to the 20 volts setting.
2. With the voltmeter, touch the meter's red lead to the wire/component/etc. you want to measure/check the voltage (which would be the orange wires in your case); and the meter's black lead to body ground (chassis bare metal; such as a ground bolt or bracket, etc.).

To test for continuity (testing if current flow through a wire or component):

1. Set to either the "ohms" or the setting it will beep when you hold the two leads together.
2. When you want to test a wire or component for continuity, touch one end of the meter's lead to one side of the wire/component; and the meter's other lead to the other end of the wire/component.

• If your meter beeps, it means you have continuity.
• If it is on ohms scale, you will have continuity when it reads close to 0 ohms.
• If it doesn't beep , shows OL (open line) or a 1 (infinity ohms); it means you don't have continuity.

Hold one of the meter’s lead on body ground (chassis bare metal, a ground bolt, etc.) and the other meter's lead on the component's connector terminal with the black wire (such as the vanity mirror light, map light, etc.).

 

I was able to find the problem. Thank you for your help!!

 

To bring a conclusion to this thread, so what was the solution?
