It does not work because the contacts on the pc board? that the bulb twists into are worn, corroded, or somehow do not make good contact with the contacts on the bottom of the bulb socket.Often, you can take a pencil eraser and clean the contacts (board and socket) and get it to work, or just twist the socket a little less, or a little more and it work....
I have never figured out how people can own one of these things without having, at least, the wiring diagrams. I love these because they put each circuit on a page instead of having the entire car wiring diagram on two 8.5x11 pages with the wires a 1/16" apart
the courtesy light switch(s) completes the ground...must be stuck or corroded inside
I dug it up when I fixed my problem, which mainly consisted of me stopping whining, acting like a bitch, and just doing something about it.
I know its been stressed, but im placing one probe on the nut on the back of the alt......thats the same as the case right? I checked the nut on the back of the alternator and the neg probe on the battery and it bounced back n forth bewteen 14.4 13.xx. I still feel like i'm missing some voltage somewhere. When I got the car out of the shop, my battery had just got off the charger. the whole ride home the car ran superb. SM was showing 14.5 to 13.9. After that ride home, I havent seen 14. anything on my SM, which leads me to believe that something is wrong. This is beyond annoying.
