Interior/dome and Cargo lights just "stopped working"

[Rogan]

.   I went to get in the truck a little bit ago.  Opened the door, the dome lights came on for a sec, then blinked, then went off..    Then I noticed the cargo light wouldn't work, either.  Push the button, the cargo indicator on the cluster illuminates, but no cargo light...   FSM shows these are triggered by the cluster??

 

OMFG, I'm so blind.  There's a fuse #35,. CCNI

Don't feel bad after having my exhaust brake blow the fuse under the hood I couldn't understand why it didn't want to start.  After sorting out the fuse problem and the source of the short being the exhaust brake switch makes contact with a ground sometimes and pop goes the fuse. Weekend project... I need to fix this one too. 

 

As for the dome light might check power mirrors and any interior lights including glove box. These are typically all on the same fuse.

I don't know if I've had this issue for awhile, or if I just noticed it..
I added a couple 12mm red LED clearance lights under the tailgate, wired them to the plug that's for the tailgate lamp (I dont have the tailgate lamp, just the plug tucked up under the bed).
Opened the drivers door, dome lights cam on as usual (LEDs). Key off, Turned on the parking lights, and the dome lights blinked real fast about 5x, then went out. Checked for a bad fuse, and found 15A #16 blown. Replaced it, and did the same procedure with the same result. Disconnected the new LEDs, repeated process, same result..

NOW... Key in RUN position, door open, dome lights on, turn on parking lights, they dont blink or blow the fuse... Turn Key off, repeat process, blown fuse...

WTAF?

Grab a test light then run all the fuses under the cover of the TIPM. Like myself a pervious owner blew a fuse pulled out and never replaced it. On you empty ports might want to verify if it got contacts and make sure it's filled with proper amp rating.
