My interior and tag lights are not working, could this be a blown fuse?

If the interior lights and truck lights are not working in your 2010 Kia Forte, it's possible that the issue is with a blown fuse. Here are a few steps you can take to determine if the problem is with a fuse:

1. Check the owner's manual: The owner's manual for your Kia Forte will have a diagram of the vehicle's fuse box and information on the location of the fuses for the interior and truck lights.
2. Locate the fuse box: The fuse box for your Kia Forte is typically located under the dashboard on the driver's side or in the engine compartment.
3. Check the fuses: Once you have located the fuse box, check to see if any of the fuses for the interior and truck lights are blown. A blown fuse will have a melted or broken wire inside.
4. Replace the fuse: If you find a blown fuse, you can replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage. You can find replacement fuses at most auto parts stores.

It's also important to keep in mind that a blown fuse is not the only reason why your lights are not working and that there may be other issues that are preventing the lights from working, such as a faulty headlight switch, bad wiring, or a malfunctioning light bulb. If you have checked the fuses and the lights are still not working, it's best to take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic for further diagnosis.
It's also important to note that some of these steps require a certain level of mechanical knowledge and experience. If you're not comfortable with checking these items, it's best to consult a professional mechanic.if i was able to help my cashapp $ralphpapi thank you have a blessing day

interior light switch off blown fuse damaged wire

Tag lites work off the running lite fuse.

You can check the fuse, but the problem usually is the bulb or the socket contacts where the bulb plugs into.
Tag lights (license plate lights) are exposed to a lot of weather/road exposure and bumps/vibration, which shorten their life.

Rarely is a "tag light fuse" listed. The tag light is typically on a circuit with several other lights or accessories, and most commonly on the taillight circuit fuse, but not always.
Only a wiring diagram or a manual will be able to verify which circuit/fuse it is on, so you may have to check several fuses.

IF it turns out to be a blown fuse, your first step should then be to trace and identify the source of the electrical short (usually in wires by the tag light itself). Simply replacing a fuse is NOT a cure or a good 'repair'.

(As I write this, I have 2 tag lights out on my vehicle,, one which I verified is a blown bulb, and the other due to a badly corroded bulb socket)

Hi Gino-
Assuming the battery is good (you have other accessories operating), look in the fuse box to see if the fuses for these accessories has blown. You can readily see if a fuse is blown if you compare to a working one. You can buy these fuses at any auto supply store.

Hi Oscar. You've more than likely just blown a fuse. Look in your owners manual or fuse box cover for which fuse is for the dome light. It may be listed as curtesy lamps, interior lamps, map light or something along those lines. Good luck.

check the fuse box under the hood for loose or blown fuses.

The tag lights are on the same fuse as your parking lights check your bulbs the little bulbs don't last long both of them are probably blown.I am assuming you are talking about the license plate lights.

fuse is blown

i would say because the interior does not work as well that it is a blown fuse. you will have two supplies to the radio. one permanent fuse that holds the memory and an igition fuse which is live with ignition turned on. check the permanet supply fuses because the interior light will also work off one of them, same as radio. the fuse may look good you need to test across both sides of the fuse with a 12volt tester, it should work across both sides of the fuse.
