case of beer reward

[s10mike]

im offering up 1 case of beer reward for anyone that can figure out my map lights!! all worked fine, i replaced bulbs in my maplights with LED bulbs. as i was screwing the rear housing back up, i put one screw into the wrong hole and blew something. ALL fuses in The fusebox are good. underhood, vanity, and dome light all work still. everything still works except map/reading lights. i pulled the housings back down and tested for power. just like i fugered, power to dome light, none to maps. theres gotta be some kind of fuse somewhere. if YOU can help me out, and it works, ill send you the money to buy you a case of beer by paypal. no sheet, i aint kidding. frickin driving me nuts

Are all the wires there? Does one wire supply power to the three bulbs? You may have cut the wire(s) that give them power.

Any chance you pushed the prongs out of the sockets on the back?

 

[s10mike]

all wires are there. one blue hot for dome, one green hot for maps, one black ground. my truck has 2 map lights, one dome for front, same in the back. was all working until i put the screw into the wrong hole, then pop, quit working. theres no power in the green hot wire. blue has 14.5 volts. even if the prongs were pushed out, (theyre not), i should still have power in the wire. gotta be a fuse or something somewhere

Sure you didn't blow the LEDs?

 

[s10mike]

leds are good yet, i tried them in the dome light and they work. i have no power in the hot wire

Check to see if the map wire is showing ground or if it's open.

 

[s10mike]

how do i do that? i have a testlight and a multimeter

Check for continuity (ohms) between the map light power and the ground. TThen also check continuity at the bulb and the fuse that wire is on (should tell you if its open)
