I had my instrument panel replaced today and a couple weird things happened this afternoon. When I got home after work I turned the car off but the interior dome lights didn't come on like they normally do. Then when I got out I hit the lock button and I could hear the doors lock but didn't hear a chirp so I'm not sure if the alarm armed or not. They said they had to replace a "module" too when they replaced the panel. Could this have reset something that I need to change, like the way the horn chirps when you lock the doors? I really don't want to go back to the dealer since it's 25 miles away so I'm hoping it's something I can handle myself.

Thanks Hummerz! I was hoping following those instructions would work. I saw them in the manual but it was working the way I wanted it to when I bought it, but I guess it was reset when they replaced the panel. Now I just need to figure out why my interior lights didn't come on. Unfortunately I got home after 7:00 and it was dark and I was beat so I didn't have any time to try to solve it myself. Hopefully some nice weather tomorrow will give me some much needed truck time. Thanks again!

Check you dome light defeat button which is located near your headlight switch.

 

Yup, those two things solved everything. I wish I had a garage so I could check this stuff out at night since waiting until the morning always drives me crazy. I'm glad it was a simple fix since there have been a few growing pains so far with this 2007 I just bought. Hopefully things will be smooth from here on out. Thanks for the info!
