- 2000 Mercury Mountaineer
Hey guys, I've browsed this forum for years because I love my Mountaineer and really enjoy checking out what people around the world do to their Explorers/Mountaineers--it turns out today I'm having a problem I can't seem to resolve:
I have a 2000 Mercury Mountaineer V8 Premier. I was changing a dead bulb in the dome light (of the midsection of the car--the one with two manual lights on either side and one courtesy light that comes on when the door is ajar), when I accidentally placed the screwdriver on the metal plate on its plastic trim.
I immediately noticed a small spark and the next thing I knew, all of the interior overhead lights (the map lights, the middle dome light, and the rear square light) quit working.
The puddle lights, the rear brake light, and the radio all work just fine. Its just that these three lights on the roof wont come on at all.
I've checked all of the fuses and only one was blown--the #26 10A at the side of the dash. Once I replaced that, the puddle lights came on, but the interior lights still wont turn on.
Any ideas about what could be wrong?
