I replaced the bulb this evening and its still not lighting up. I know it couldnt be the fuse because the two lights run off the same fuse, and the other light works. Despite that knowledge, I checked the fuse anyway. It's still good. Anyone have any other idea as to why this is happening or did I just encounter a rare occurrence by buying a broken bulb? 00 CSVT Black/Midnight Blue 2.5L DOHC Duratec V6, 200HP, MTX-75 MODs: K&N Filter, SVT ovals, Autometer gauges, PIAA 510's, Alpine S-type FE/Pioneer R, Pioneer Premier Series reciever #603 of 2150 92 Cavalier 1.8L I4 (Beater)

If there is no problem, and the fuse is good, then a wire might be corroded or broke from corrosion. or an ohm meter Last edited by posthuman63t; 11/06/05 02:50 AM. 2000 Contour SVT SF - #542 of 2150
