Do the map lights, and ( if equiped ) the illuminated vanity mirrors still work ?

yes the lights do work but its just an XL model so I doubt it has vanity mirrors, everything in it is manual except the transmission

Sorry, should have looked at your profile for the trim level.

If you are sure CJB ( aka Central Junction Box, Cab fuse panel ) Fuse # 23 is good, next would be to take down the overhead console, and check for power at the connector.

The White w/ Light blue stripe wire (circuit 294) is the circuit from CJB Fuse #23, hot in the run position ( need to turn the key to the run position to test ).
2 ground wires to the module ( both black to different ground lugs ), you can test with for power. If no Power is there, check to another ground in the cab, just to be sure.

This will confirm if the problem is with power to the Solid State Module, or if it is the Solid State Module itself.
