Overhead console, map lights on dome light, vanity lights all don't work :(
There was a weird antenna on the top of my truck that i've never seen on any other truck so i cut it off.
After a few days later my overhead console compass started going on the frits, and about the same time all my vanity and map lights went one.
I'm pretty sure i've checked ever fuse with a continuity tester, and replaced all the relays with no luck.
I'm assuming a bad ground, but where?? Has anyone else had this issue? I'd really like to fix it. Its getting annoying at this point always having to use my glove box light to see things, or turning my dimmer switch all the way up to see at night, inside my truck

When in doubt, don't go cutting wires

Since the ford dealer couldn't tell me anything even with my vin, I'm assuming it's after market. What it goes too I'll never know. On another not, I tested the 3 wires going to the dome like. Green/blue I believe it is tested for 6.4 volts. The middle one test 12.4 and the last was negative so I'm assuming that's ground. Does anyone have a diagram for that plug? Or the vanity lights?

Here's the kicker, when I replace the fuse for the interior lights, it has no continuity. If I take it out, it obviously does. When I put it back in, I can hear relay #1 or #2 make a bunch of clicking. I was leaning towards GEM module?
