I have lights under the dash that come on with the interior, so the problem couldn't be in the head liner.

So you say you have no cargo or the over head interior light when you turn them on?

sorry, I was looking at the wrong fuse.
I didn't realize it was with the lighter(can't read words on fuse box)
Why did they put such stupid fuses in there? They are shorter than standard fuses of the amperage

Th wiring of the dome light & cargo light runs up the channel of thr A pillar <> across the top to behind the driver's head where the switch is, then across the roof to the light .
One harness services both units.

So, the cargo light comes on with the dome light then?
I'm looking to put one in....
Or does it only come on with the headlight **** and when you open the doors only int. lights come on?

There should be a cargo light switch behind the driver's head up in the corner.

It comes on with the switch

I figured my maglite would do the trick, plus I can point it anywhere.

Dont give up, look do it like me and keep it real simple
1. Check the fuses
2. Check the bulbs
3. Check the switch with a continuity meter
You know you've got all the big kinks worked out when you are on the little stuff like that. Thats something to be proud of.
