Proved that you have to keep reviewing you checks. I was moving in a linear fashion and did this to recheck after each step. Might have saved me from some aggravation. The ultimate failure was probably the switch but things are never easy with electrical issues.
wow, so maybe the first failure was the switch, but after fixing that the bulb and the fuse somehow got blown and left you doing random trouble shooting. Crazy. Glad you finally got it working though. I spent some time troubleshooting mine as well, turns out, the contacts were dirty on the bulb.
