    Hi all,

    I am driving a 379 2006 shorthood
    I was changing some interior lights and when taking the one above the drivers head out I blew it and now none of the lights work including door lights when opening the door nor switching them on manually, I have checked the fuse and changed it even though it looked like it didn’t blow but there is no power going to the fuse anymore, I have test lighted all other fuses but everything looks to be working ok, new to these American trucks HELP

    If no power is going to the fuse panel then more than likely their is a fuse link blown coming from the battery box main source. Check around the battery box

    There is power going to the other fuses just not that one, we switched round the fuse yesterday to put the globes and door light onto a working one and only the door lights started working none of the other lights including underneath the center in the footwell ?

    Call Peterbilt & see if they can give you the fuse schematic for your model truck so you can pin point where the line is

    Check for power at socket. If no power check both sides of fuse for power. If neither side is recieving power then you have a wiring issue further up from the fuse
