3rd Generation Personal Lights

Hi

just got the camry and noticed that the personal lights don't work.
I checked the bulbs and they look like that the filament is still intanct.
tried measuring voltage and its zero.
dome light works... do they share the same fuse?

Have you checked the fuse? I believe it's under the hood.

IRC it's in the engine bay and is a 20amp fuse. Blew mine when I was trying to fix someones' idea of wiring with the antenna. When it went it took out a few other things as well as a few things are connected along the same wire path.

Dome lamp is shared with the instrument panel fuse on my car, which also powers trunk light as well.

When I shorted out the circuit, due to the bad wiring of the power antenna someone previous to me owning the car did, it took out the map lights, stereo and a number of other things. It all runs on the same circuit.
If the only thing not working is the map lights, then I would first make sure they do work.
Wire the assembly directly up to something, say, the cigarette lighter. If it works, then it's wiring somewhere. If it doesn't, it may be the assembly that's causing the problem, or maybe a bad ground? If it does work that way it has to be a wiring issue somewhere if all fuses are fine. Then it's tracing the wiring back. The wire ends up connecting to the power that as well goes to the stereo etc. [at least with the moonroof it does, but I don't see why it would be different if one doesn't have it] it may be that a wire in where the stereo goes may have been accidently severed possibly causing it? Rule out the easy stuff first, and go from there.
