Hello. I have a weird electrical problem. Today I tried to change my dome light to an LED. When I turned my dome light on, my room fuse blew. I changed it and tried a few more times. The fuse didn't go out, but the light wouldn't light up either, and I could hear a slight buzzing sound from the connector. Sometimes when I took the bulb out I could see some sparks up there. Now, my dome, map and door lights won't turn off when they're in the 'door' position, and the door lights won't turn off at all, not even when I get out of the car and lock it.

Any ideas?

Edit: The lights in the side mirrors are also lit. I disconnected the battery and I'm going to leave it like that over the night. Good/Bad idea?

 

Have you tried putting the regular bulb back in, to see if the problem has to do with the LED rather than something that got damaged?

Yea it almost sounds like you have shorted out the connector for the dome light. I believe the interior lights are negative trigger so any short would cause them to go on and stay on.

 

Strangely, they are working like normal again. At first, I had the problem described in the first post, then, the day after, they turned off and stayed off all the time, they wouldn't turn on when I opened the doors at all. Then, a couple of days after that, they were sometimes working and sometimes fully turned off. And now, they are working fully.
