All interior lights and clock light are out

I tried all fuses seem to be fine.
First my clock light went out.
Then my left foot area light went out.
then my rocker panel when you get in went out.
Then my interior light went out.
Now, when I open the door to get in at night I have absolutely no lights in the car.

NE1 have any ideas?

Any help would be appreciated.

First, check that the dimmer switch isn't turned off.

If the dimmer switch is OK, then you might have a bad body control module. The BCM controls the lights. The BCM in my sedan went bad and none of the interior lights worked.

yeah, the dimmer is normal..my dash lights are bright as normal. Im thinking that you are right with the BCM. it is controls all lights then that is most likely it. Can I replace that myself?

The dash lights on my car were normal as well, but the interior lights did not work.

Replacing the BCM probably needs to be done by the dealer since there is a lot of programming with the Consult II device.

I assume your car is no longer under warranty. If not, that's too bad because replacing the BCM is over $700.
