I'm getting 5-6 volts at the interior light. That can't be right can it?
Any ideas on how to get it up to 12? |

Are you getting 6V at the light contacts with the bulb on or at the spade connectors to the light fixture?
Check and clean all contacts. If you have 6V at the spade connectors to the light fixture, the issue may be the door switch. Do you get the 6V with the switch on the fixture set to ON and with the door open? |
