Dodge ram 1500 4x4 sport, my under the hood lamp doesn't work, the radio, and interior lights, glove box light doesn't work. Checked all the fuses and they are fine in the power distribution box and the interior fuse panel.

Check the bulb first. If it appears to be okay, check for voltage on one of the socket terminals. If you find 12 volts there, measure continuity to ground from the other terminal. If both circuits are okay, suspect the switch inside the lamp housing.
