No dome light, courtesy lights, eatc not working, no clock, no headlight illum

Everything worked today. All of the sudden I go out to my car to go home, and I open the door, and no light comes on. No dome light, no light by your feet, nothing. The clock doesn't come on. The eatc is lit, but doesn't respond to my button pushing. The cluster gauges are lit up and seem to function normally. The radio works but none of the buttons are lit up. The headlights and fog lights do work, but the knob isn't lit up.

What is going on here?

Edit: just found out my door lock button doesn't work either....LCM?

Update: I found fuse 23 to be blown. Replaced it and viola, it everything worked again....that is until I hit the drivers side door unlock button. Then everything stopped working again IE clock went out, radio lights out, no dome light etc.

Sounds like a replacement lock button is in your future

Update yet again:

Put a 20 amp fuse in instead of the 15. Now when I hit the door lock button, it doesn't blow the fuse, and the lights stay on, the clock still works, but the lock button doesn't work, and neither does the passenger buton. But when the key is out of the ignition, the lock button works. Very confused.

Installing the wrong fuse is far from intelligent

You're saying there something that can be worse looming??

I get that, but as a diagnostic, I wanted to see where I was with the switch etc.

Any ideas? My next play is to disconnect the door lock switches and reconnect one at a time. I have a couple spares just in case.

He's saying it can cause wires to burn up and become a hazard. With my experience, I didn't see a 5 amp increase becoming a life and death issue, I'm not going to run it like this permanently...

I just really want to fix this is all

That's what I'd do first.

Have you ever seen a bad lcm do this?

No.................

[376shovel]

No.................

Ok good. So I'll start with swapping the switch out for one I have handy and grabbing more fuses.

For the record:

New door lock switch and fuse and its all good.
