I have a 1997 F150 XLT. The dome light works but the map lights don't. I took the light assembly off and tested the line with a voltmeter. There isn't any power going to the map lights. Its a green wire with an orange stripe. Does anyone know how to trace where this wire goes? Any ideas on why the power stopped?

Thanks,

 

That line also feeds the engine and glove compartment lights. Do they work?

This circuit is supplied by the battery saver relay in the fuse box (in cabin). We know the relay works since it has to in order for the dome lamp to operate.

That Lt Green/Orange wire comes out of the fuse box and via a splice, feeds all of the above loads.

Now that you mention it the glove box light and the engine light doesn't work either. I thought I checked all of the fuses... Can you tell me which fuse it is? Hmm.

Edit:

I just realized you said it is on a relay and that has to work since the dome light works. Please bare with me I don't know much about electrical stuff in autos. What do I need to check to fix this issue?
