See if you’re getting power to the sockets the bulbs install in. You may need an assistant unless you can find something to prop to pedal.

Sounds like you’re on right track check to see if you have power at fuse then switch you could make a jumper but I wouldn’t do that unless you are absolutely sure of what you are probing. You could disconnect the switch and check continuity at the switch when you actuate the switch. I would almost bet on a short in switch considering it also deactivates the cruise when you touch the brakes. Make sure your bulbs are good as well sounds simple but the switch could have kept them illuminated prior to your purchase etc.

I have seen a few times on a Hyundai the body control module needing to be reset after a battery change. Honestly I’m back home because of weather issues so I don’t have access to my battery cheat book. Not saying this is your issue but power door locks, windows and sunroof I’ve seen happen after a new battery. Just wish my book was handy and I’d post the reset procedure so you could start there first. Try to google and see if someone has posted the procedure or possible disconnecting the battery for a few minutes may help. The brake light issue is probably not related to this though. I would check to see if you have signal at stop light switch first and see if you have power to the switch first.

Awesome suggestion Karl! Thank you very much I’ll draw me up a lesson plan! That is brilliant and easy way to weed and seed!

Funny you say that, I always say I’m not a gynecologist but I’ll take a look LOL :woohoo: some days I kick myself for dropping out of engineering school. My girlfriends youngest son is taking auto mechanics in school…I told him to run, take home ec lol

Very good point Eric! Hard for me to remember at times that schematics are harder to get for the general public at times lol
That being said you may be able to register with AutoZone to get diagrams etc for personal vehicles I believe at one time you could register up to 2 personal vehicles for free and get technical data. That may have changed I don’t zone myself lol Once you have the diagram from them or a service manual (perhaps someone here can help with a source that I’m not familiar with) and see what is on the circuit you can jump between components and fuses and fusible links to see where the flow is going. Much faster to navigate this way and also eliminates many branches so you can diagnose faster.

Almost forgot here’s a link I have saved where someone has done the math on converting millivolts to mA over the particular fuses http://www.angelfire.com/pa2/lberger/Vd_Fuse_Chart.pdf Make sure you are in millivolt setting and block off your door switches so you don’t measure any draw by doors being open. You may want to wait a few minutes to let anything “go to sleep” after blocking switches. Good luck!

Sounds like you may be on the right track. I would look into a cheap bottle of UV dye and a cheap UV light from a parts store, set a piece of cardboard under the truck and let it run and reach temperature then use the light to look for the magical glow. The cardboard will also help direct you if it makes it past the fan.
