Problem with Right door Light!

This light on the right door seems to not work. I changed the bulb and made sure it was conected right and everything, still seems to not work, but my left door light works. Is there a fuse for this light in the dash fuse box? If anyone knows, I would appreciate the feedback, thanx!

I think both door lights are supposed to come on when either door is open... Check you doorswitch.

Here is something to check. If you know someone else with a max, same gen as yours, switch out the window control switch on the door that has the problem. If you switch this and it works, then you probabily shorted something in the window control switch. Is it repairable? I hope so, cause the driver side is out on my car and I loved that light so much. Made my car feel luxorious.

yeah, what rguida says is more than likely the case. If you have access to a multimeter; measure the lamp socket for voltage. Connect the black lead of you meter to ground and use the red one to probe the two sockets of the bulb. One of the sockets should have a constant +12 volts (with the key in the on posistion - your other door light should be on when you do this test). Once you've found that wire switch your meter to measure resistance (ohms) and put it on the other wire (the one w/o +12 volts) Your meter should produce a number - it should not read 0 or blink repeatedly w/ no number. IF it doesn't produce a number then the -12 (ground) that is supplied to the light from the lock control unit is bad. I know of no way to fix this other then getting a new lock control unit. Hope this helps. Good luck.
