    Red Interior lighting not working no other electrical problems. Dashlights out center console lights out and the side panel button lights all not working. Did a fuse blow? I've been checking fuses. Help!

    I'd say it's either a fuse...or all the bulbs burned out at once, which is very unlikely.

    Were there any odd things that happened before this occurred?

    Nothing unusual. I highly doubt they all went out at once. I was using a volt booster from zzp disconnected and still nothing

    Uhmm.. having used a Caspers voltage booster at one time and knowing ZZP quality issues. How bright did those babies get before they stopped working?

    Caspers was designed to give 17volts and WOW the increase in headlights and interior lights. I feared for the electronics in the car and got that outta there fast.

    anything above 14.9 is unsafe for a battery and above that say goodbye to electronics. Not designed for the heat that is generated. POP!

    Of course not. Those things create more problems than they are worth. Removing it just prevented future problems.



    is there a bad fuse?
    Check the dome light fuse. Next step would be to check for power; at the headlight switch, at the fuse etc. You have described that parts of two different circuits are faulty, so you will need to do some testing.
