Passenger mirror courtesy light fuse?

[AhYesCB7]

I did a little mod to my CB and I need to know which fuse or circuit sends power to the passengers mirror light, since I bought the car its never worked, bulb is good and I'm just not seeing any power at the terminals that hold the bulb.

Thanks in advance

no such thing exists in our cars to my knowledge. None of our side mirrors have lights.

i believe OP is referring to the vanity mirror light, within the sun visor.

according to the wiring diagram below (vanity light is along the left edge) tracing back, it looks like it only receives power when the headlights are turned on, and ultimately the power comes from Fuse 23 (15A). This fuse also powers many other lights, so if the other lights on the circuit are working, then your vanity bulb is probably blown, or perhaps the connection loose. If you remove the visor from the roof, you can follow the 1-wire power wire. It uses the body of the car for grounding, via the mounting screw.

Thank you very much Mike that diagram may come in handy soon. Not 10 minutes after I make the thread I realized you need the lights on to get power to the vanity.

Now I have another issue, out of the blue my dash lights arent working. The ashtray light and all the lights that make the dash glow arent turning on today. The gear indicator lights and all the warnings work but nothing will dim with the switch, aside from the other lights not working.

Bad dimmer switch?

Vanity light isnt working either now that I look at it but that kinda doesnt make sense?

Had a pinched wire up in the headliner where you screw down the visor, that took out all the interior lights except the dome lol.

Heres a little sneak peek at the mod I had mentioned. Gonna start a build thread now that I have the posts behind me.
