07 f150, the map lights do not come on when pushed or doors are open, however the light in the back does work. I assume they are on the same fuse bit maybe not but my manual does not have anything that says interior lights so I don’t know what fuse it would even be. The bulbs looked ok. It’s the 2 interior lights in the middle up front.

 

The map lights and the lights that come on when the door is opened (courtesy lamp) are two separate lighting circuits. The map lights have individual switches that allow them to be individually controlled. The courtesy lights are also controllable from the light switch.

Is this a regular, extended or crew cab model?

 

crew cab and the issue is in my manual there’s nothing g that says map lights or interior lights so I don’t know which fuse they are to even see if that’s the problem.

 

Unfortunately, it's not that simple anymore as the electrical systems have become more complicated.

The map lights run off CJB fuse F24 through the battery saver relay. That relay is controlled by electronics in the instrument cluster.

The courtesy light circuit is driven by electronics in the instrument cluster. The cluster is fed by about half a dozen fuses. I'd suggest CJB F21 would be the one to check for that feature.

 

is the courtesy light the one in the back if so that one works. The ones that don’t are the map lights in the front there are two of them, they should come on when doors open or they are pushed but they don’t those are the ones that don’t work so which fuse would that be. What does cbj stand for? Thanks

 

CJB=central junction box, also known as the fuse box. The Fxx numbers given above are the fuse numbers to look at, there should be a list in your manual or on the back of the lid with the fuse number id map on it.

 

yeah I looked in the manual at the fuses but nothing says interior lights map lights courtesy lights nothing that leads me to believe what the fuse would be

 

Mine actually got broken where the bulbs went in. Through creative use of zip ties, I put it back together.

 

Did you check the continuity of the elements in the bulbs with DVOM? GIven the age of our trucks I'd want to verify both bulbs, in fact, work,

 

Concur that power to the two map lights comes from fuse 24.

Have you tested the bulbs?

Do the visor mirror lights work?

If fuse 24 and the bulbs are good , and the visor lights don't work, then I'd check the battery saver relay (#304 on fuse panel).

If you do the above and the lights still don't work, I'd inspect and test the wiring from fuse 24 to the lights.

Good luck.
