Problem w/ interior Map Lights...
Ok, so I was putting my LEDs in my map lights, and they didn't turn on. and now all my other interior lights don't work... such as my door, rear dome light, and trunk light... i checked the fuses and nothing seems to be blown... what could have caused this?

so did you check both fuse panels? you'll want to make sure you take a good look at them, i'm not sure how easy it is to tell if a fuse is blown or not, and if you look in the manual, there should be a diagram showing which fuse controls those lights. it may have been hard to see since you were installing the lights at night, so i don't imagine you had a lot of light to help you see the fuses.
i'm thinking this is def a fuse problem, the fact that you told me that when you turned on the map lights and you heard a sound then they all went out. by the way, did the lights turn on before you heard the sound? or did they sitll not light up and then they all went out? try and describe what steps you did when you replaced that bulb, you said that you put them in and they didn't turn on, so did you flip it and it still didn't turn on and then you heard the sound?
looks like this guy had the same problem, well similar, you might want to msg the OP and ask him which fuse he changed: http://forums.altimas.org/zero...15431

it's the same problem that person had. i found the blown fuse, have yet to change it tho because my car is kind of disassembled right now. lol so i'm unable to get to store right now. hopefully the new fuse fixes the problem. and i wrote the OP of that post, and have yet to receive a reply. so now i just have to wait.

ok, i changed the fuse and my interior lights still don't work. what else could be causing this?
EDIT: Ok, so I finally fixed it. Idk how, but somehow a fuse was missing where it controlled the interior lights. I started counting the amount of fuses and where they should be, and noticed one was missing and just moved them a couple of them over 1 slot. and now all my interior lights work...
