Rear dome light

Post by ICON 1956 »

Going through a few things that need attention I did noticed that the rear dome light wasn't working. I replaced the bulb but no go I looked up the wiring configuration there is a plug that is connected to the light assembly, I will unscrew the entire unit and inspect it to see if it was disconnected or clean the contacts, Any other suggestions I need to know before I open Pandora's Box ! Thanks!

From what I remember it's only two wires. Power and ground. More than likely the ground is corroded and just needs to be cleaned.
