2005 Acura TL - Some interior lights not working
2005 Acura TL - Some interior lights not working
I have a 2005 Acura TL, some of the interior lights are not working
What works:
Driver side door jam light
Passenger side door jam light
Passenger side visor light
What doesn't work:
Driver side map light
Passenger side map light
Backseat driver side map light
Backseat passenger side map light
Driver side visor light
My first thought was a fuse because at the time it appeared all the lights were broke, but I didn't notice the door jam lights do in fact work.
Yes I have checked the 7.5 amp fuse.
Yes I have tried the switch up top by the sunroom button, in every combination, with every light with doors open and shut.
I have checked the bulbs, as I have already replaced the door ones with LEDs and they work fine.
What is the next step? Would it be the relay given the other lights work? I do not have a voltmeter but I am sure I can borrow one to at least test the leads, is that the next step?
Are there any other electrical components inside that I should check to rule in/out something?

Most likely one of these things happened:
Blew a fuse.
LED contacts are not making contact with the electrical light socket. Compare contacts from old and new.
The LEDs blew up. Take one out and test with a multimeter.
