All interior lights dead
All interior lights dead
2003 CL Type S
Both the map lights and the dome light are inoperative.
I pulled and checked the 7.5A fuse with a VOM and it checked OK with continuity and no resistance.
Three items that should not be related but are worth mentioning:
1) I replaced all three incandescent bulbs with LEDs about six years ago and they worked fine since without a problem
2) The Acura dealer did the driver airbag recall, but according to a YouTube video the R&R procedure goes nowhere near the interior light system.
3) I recently washed down the engine compartment as part of my normal periodic maintenance routine
I have not driven the car at night for months, so am unsure how long this has been the situation. In any event, I cannot see how those would affect all of the interior lights.
It appears that there is no power getting to the system...
Thoughts?
TIA!

Second on the fuses, make sure you’re bulbs didn’t go bad. Weird that they would go bad at same time, but depends on the LED’s you used.
I don’t mean to come off as condescending but did you make sure you didn’t hit the master switch for the interior lights? If you were cleaning/detailing car maybe you flipped it by accident (by sunroof). Since you don’t drive much at night you’d never notice the lights coming on or not.
