Lights not working, Trunk/Dome..
So i took out the bulb in the trunk to see what it looked like, and to see if i would be able to fit a spare strip of LEDs i have laying around.
and after taking the bulb off and putting it back in it worked fine, but then when i put the little light holder thing back into the side carpet (where it belongs) it just turned off.
I thought that i had poped a fuse, i checked the fuses with my light tester thingy and it checked out fine. and while i was checking the fuses i also noticed that my dome light had stopped working as well...
Everything i noticed works fine, radio, cig lighter, trunk lights, back lights, cluster lights, everything.
And it says that the fuse for the dome light is the same one for the Cluster... so i guess its something else, right?
its also not the bulbs.. i tried using the light test thing to check both the dome light and the trunk light and neither one where getting power..

It's got to be a blown fuse you just haven't found it yet. I don't have the diagram here, it could even be one of the fuses under the hood. The best way to check fuses is to pull them out and look at the link, or use a test light or meter with one end to ground. Both test points on the fuse should check live. If you find a fuse with only one test point live to ground, it is blown.
The tester that touches both points on the fuse at the same time will only reveal a blown fuse if the circuit is closed (i.e. a good bulb is installed and the switch is on). It's better to test to ground.
