Only one overhead light works

[swoyekr]

Only one of my map lights in the overhead console doesn't work, it's a 2013 2500. I thought it was just the bulb but changing that didn't do anything, I ended up swapping to a LED with homelink over the weekend and the passenger side works fine but the drivers side still doesn't work. Any ideas why only one side wouldn't work? It doesn't work when the door is opened or when manually pushed.

Shorted wire harness?

If it is the LED bulb that is not working, some are polarity sensitive, so just turn it 180. If not LED, check to see if you have power to start with.

If you converted to led, you probably added the t10 socket adapter. T10 After market adapters are poorly made and very flimsy and you have to make sure the pins go in straight. If you wiggle the wires you may find a loose contact. Otherwise you may need to reverse the polarity.
