I recently replaced all interior lights with ICELED products (yes I know its rice) all went sweet apart from the conveniance light on the passengers side door.
The issue seems to be with the -ve wire to the light.
When installing the light stopped working. Checked with a multimeter with prongs on +ve and -ve wires. Nothing.
Checked again with a testlight -ve earthed to door frame and sure enough there is power to the positive wire.
Cause I needed the car for a show the next day i did a dodgey and wired ICELED with -ve to earth and bypassing actual -ve wire for light.
Worked sweet as, but obviously it doesnt switch with the door.
My question is does anybody have any idea how the switching works on the conveniance lights?
Why would it stop working?
The -ve wouldnt be fused would it?
Any ideas or sugestions, and I have fitted the original globe back in and it doesnt work either.
Drivers side is fine.
cheers
