1. Check the fuse. The first thing you should do is check the fuse for the center console lights. The fuse box is located under the dashboard, on the driver's side. The fuse for the center console lights is usually labeled "C/L". If the fuse is blown, replace it with a new one of the same amperage.
2. Check the bulbs. If the fuse is not blown, the next thing you should do is check the bulbs for the center console lights. The bulbs are located behind the plastic lens in the center console. To remove the lens, you will need to pry it off with a flathead screwdriver. Once the lens is removed, you can remove the bulbs by twisting them counterclockwise. If any of the bulbs are burned out, replace them with new ones of the same type.
3. Check the wiring. If the fuse and bulbs are both good, the next thing you should do is check the wiring. The wiring for the center console lights is located under the dashboard. You can access the wiring by removing the plastic cover under the dashboard. Once the cover is removed, you can use a multimeter to check for power at the wiring harness. If there is no power, you will need to repair the wiring.
4. Replace the switch. If the fuse, bulbs, and wiring are all good, the next thing you should do is replace the switch for the center console lights. The switch is located on the dashboard, near the center console. To remove the switch, you will need to pry it off with a flathead screwdriver. Once the switch is removed, you can replace it with a new one.
Once you have followed these steps, the center console lights for your 93 Mazda Protege should be working again.
