Default Instrument panel and right side lights

I changed my fog lights today and everything that can be turned on does. The problem is when I turn on the headlights, the instrument panel and ride side of exterior lights stay off. Any suggestions?

check your glovebox light for random shorting (no kidding) & then there's a 10 amp fuse below dash on drivers side for that circuit.
good luck, greg

Ya know, I wondered why I couldn't get the glovebox light (that wasn't burnt out) to work....

Thanks for you help. I'm going to go out in the dark right now to fix it. "Let there be light."

Changing the blown 10 amp fuse for $1 worked and much better than taking anywhere.

Thanks Greg!

Mine drove me nuts & I found the glovebox light ***'y loose (broken plastic tab).
Randomly (a bump in the road?) the ***'y would short to the surrounding metal dash frame.
That would blow that ten amp fuse.
It might last 5min or 5days

Cool
