windshield replacement

Postby wlcrwlr [OP] » Sep 01 2011, 11:24pm

Just got my windshield replaced and now my interior lighting is non existent. message center reads cargo light is on when you push the map light-but no map light. when you push cargo light-no cargo light, open door-no domelight, and on truck start up for a couple secs. where normally the dome is on for a couple secs.. All these actions result in cargo light message but no light itself. All other functions are normal. Question is- Is there something that could've been nick'd, bridged, pinched,blown, etc. that would've caused this? :? :?:

I have no idea... It sounds like something got pinched, but I'm not sure where all those wires would be... Have you checked the fuses just incase it is a coincidence?

Are there any wires going to the back of the mirror?

sounds like the guy who replaced your window forgot to reinstal a ground wire. call them up and get it fixed.

Got a hold of someone with some authority and they're going to look at it tomorrow- reaffirmed my suspicions about possible wires running up the side posts and willing to go the extra to search out my issue. Thanks all for the ideas and help just wanted to be a little more informed when I started shakin' trees!!
