    blown fuse or bad wires

    Interior lighting and power mirrors stopped working a few days ago...I hope I didn't disturb something when I installed the glove box.

    If that's when you noticed the issue that's the circuit I'd investigate first. I accidentally touched my charge wire (with the battery connected) to ground and I got away with just blowing the fuse for the horn. You've got multiple cars in your sig so not sure which one has the issue..

      Did you do anything electrical, like wire in a glove box light? If so I'd look there after checking the fuses, and look for any pinched wires around where the glove box bolts in. Hope it's something simple!

          Does anyone know if the mirrors & interior lights share the same circuit?
