All my lights are dead in the interior like the dome lights, trunk lights, the lights under on the driver and passenger side. It died ever since i blew the ecu. I got a new one.. replaced bulbs.. but it still dont work. Know any way i can get them back working?

You may have blew a fuse, or more specifically the rheostat.

Get that checked out. There's only a couple of wires that elad into the rheostat. Try bypassing them.

Are you sure you blew your ECU? I don't think the ECU even has "control" over the interior lights.

it could just be one wire that came loose under your dash it should be red so check anything that is red

The rheostat is not a fuse. It's the dimmer knob.

true , but just to mention there are fuses by the kickpanel on the drivers side and under the hood, I know from personal experience that a single fuse controls all the interrior lights and some of the external ones. I too had a short that fried some wires...FUSES PPL!!!
