I have the interior light in the center of the back pad out and easy to work on. It won't for the life of me click in. What's the secret?

You need to make sure the positive feed is on the non switch end and the two ground wires are on the twin connection end where the switch is. One wire is a permanent ground (to turn on the light when you move the switch) the other is only a ground when the doors open (from the switches by the door hinges)
Pop the light fitting out, take a meter and check you have a live feed first, then check your two grounds, you'll see straight away if you've crossed any wires when you fitted the new light. It is possible to have the live feed on one of the switch twin connectors and the lamp will light in only one switch position. Its also possible for the lamp to light in one switch position only if either of the grounds has a fault The law of averages means that if the lamp wont light in either switch position its more likely to be the positive feed. That said you do need to check the bulb is good or your falling at the first hurdle Good luck |
