If You Didn't Do Anything RC Related, What Did You Do, Today?

[CertifiedMike]

Almost certainly a loose nut behind the wheel!
Have you tried using your volt meter to actually test the circuits?
Front and rear lighters poss/prob on different circuits.
The outlet itself could be fried.
Older gm's shared lighter and interior light fuse often.
Look up a wiring diagram and see what else is on the circuit, what works still?
I still say its a loose nut though!

Also. Some leds require driver circuits on some cars. You might be having an led flicker because of that.
Easy to tedt if no wires were cut.
Unplug led stuff and plug in regular bulb. If it works, you have your answer.

1st, left front headlight (upgraded to led) blew out, well partially.

2nd, right front tire leaking air

3rd, front cigarette lighter blew. Probably cause last time Dad ran the air compressor for too long to try to fill up that right front tire the other day, and got too hot and blew. Check the 3 fuses and they looked fine. But the back cigarette lighter for the back row still works.

Not me, that's Dad!

I can go over uncles tomorrow to grab a multi meter, assuming if that wasn't stolen

Front and rear lighters poss/prob on different circuits.

Correct

The outlet itself could be fried.

True and possible

Be sure to test the circuit from the wires! Sticking long metal objects in the lighter outlet might be fun to watch, but bad for the dash board!

Well the traverse already had issues and been having so for over 2 years. Shutters at low rpms. Was torque converter. Replaced with a refurbished one, fixed it for a while but now it's back. Mom is currently trying to save up money to get a new car inorder to trade in the traverse, or gift the traverse to one of my older cousins

That's prob the smart tging to do. If I had a Traverse, I'd try to give it away too!
What year is the truck?
Also, is the switch in the dash not working, door switch? What is broken?

I mean when ypu open the doors, do the lights turn on other than the on in the roof? My truck has enough interior lights to light a runway. There are "courtesey lights" thatare low in the door.
Do other doors turn on the lights when you open the doors?
I'm trying to figure out what part of the truck is actually not wotrking.

Something is broken or ypur lights would turn on!

Have you tested the light bulb?

All interior lights go on, and the headlights too

 

[CertifiedMike]

[DavidB1126]

Our doors don't have lights on the bottom tho

the over ride switch isn't on, right???

No, (I don't go that deep into investigation and IDK what that means lol) I'm a starting auto technician at a family level lol

I know the simple things tho

But I know I'm am a pro at figuring out RC issues lol

 

[CertifiedMike]

Is it the light or lighter in interior, maybe i got that wonked!
Lets start over cuz i got ahead of myself in posts.
Lets pick a problem. You pick...

just one tho

just one tho

 

[DavidB1126]

Bought the wrong type of fuses dang it. I'll deal with that tomorrow.

I was supposed to bought the blade type fuse.

Today, Work, hospital, laundry, forum.
Tomorrow, pet store grocery store, pay bills then hospital. Don't mind the hospital because I like to see Mrs. Doom. The rest of the chores, I could do without.

Sat down with my weekend morning coffee, and turned on the TV. Saw a commercial for Smile 2. Been wanting to watch the first one for some time now.
Found it on Hulu, so that's what I'm watching now.
