So now my next electrical problem is my interior light on the back pad between the seats. The light and fixture are brand new and the wires seem to be fine.I tested the light out side of the car and it does work.I grounded it with a pig tail and it still wouldn't light so I checked it with a meter and it doesn't seem to have much power if any it think I got a reading of a couple of volts but still not sure about that. It will not light on any of the switch positions. Could it be the door switches? What other electrical items are on that circuit. Which fuse in the stock fuse block is it?
Thanks all! |
