Just checked the trunk light and there is power going there too. Maybe there is no current that's why the bulb doesn't light up?

Here's the trunk light wires that I've checked for power and they had 12v


This is what the roof looked like without the dome light cut.

The body control module provides ground circuits to lighting. If a fuse blows when you turn on the key there is a wire pinched to body ground somewhere. I would look above the headliner near your new dome light.

Thanks for the tip!! I went over the headliner to check for shorts and it seemed ok. Then I replaced the fuse and now the lights work! The 2 back passenger light work just fine and since I didn't have a 44mm bulb i tried stealing the one from the trunk (who is working by the way) but i think they don't have the same voltage. I read something like 4,5v on the dome light conector and the on from the trunk is 12v so no dice hhehe. Tomorrow I'm going for those internal break lights that are completaly dead. I'll let you guys know the story tomorrow. Thank again for all the help!!

Now the 2 passenger lights work fine. I've checked the 2 BCM fuses in the driver's side and in the front and they are fine. But I still get a 4,5V on the dome light. Does anyone know what happened?

Hi,

Still didn't get the dome light to work and just noticed that the internal break lights are not working also. No power there either.
Checked all the fuses, the one from the sunroof was blown, changed it and it blew instantly when I turned the key. Tried disconnecting the sunroof motor but nothing changed it still blew instantly. Does that have anything to do with the dome and break lights?? Anyone ever had this problem?

Thanks a lot
