Fuse for the interior light?

[JJCRU23R]

gday..

Ive ignored this problem for well over a year now...

Ive changed the interior light (the light in the middle of the ceiling) on my 03 corolla conquest several times.. the 2nd and 3rd time was like weeks apart. Im not sure as to whether there are issues with the contact between the actual bulb and the bits it connects with or if its the fuse. The last 2 bulbs were the same size as the original, yet they were both very difficult to fit and especially difficult to remove.

Last I checked, the little string in the bulb was still connected, nothing loose inside the bulb so I assumed it works still.

If anyone can tell me if theyve had issues with this as well as which fuse this light is connected to, would be a great help. im considering buying the LED replacements that are on sale at autobarn.

any advice appreciated.

Jase.

This used to happen to me aswell, i bought an blue led globe from ebay.

i had the same issue as you where the globes were the same size as the original one but it still was a tight fit and it didint work, what i did was that i wiggled it around a little and make sure its in the sockets. i just kept wiggling it around and it finally worked :)

if you feel like its the fuse, its the small "5" sized one in the fuse box

hope that helped

Not sure about the problem or fuse issue, but a word of warning re LED interior lighting. You will find ebay 5050SMD type far superior to any ones ive seen in Autobarn stores. If they are not smd or flux type they simply wont output enough light.

These are what you should be looking for(not advertising the seller):

search ebay for SMD or flux festoon or dome lights at the required length.

I believe the fuse for your interior dome light sits in the fuse box next to the glovebox which you must remove. There is a series of fuses in there so you'd just have to pull them out individually and see if the "metallic connection" is still intact.Whichever one isn't intact must be the one blown and there's a number for the amp shown at the back of the fuse (5, 10, 15 etc.) go buy a pack and just replace it.
