Interior Lamp Issues: Potential Short?
Greetings:
I was replacing my interior lamps (map lights / courtesy lights) and, post bulb replacement, I have an issue. While the center toggle works as intended, as does the driver's side toggle, now the passenger side toggle (for map/courtesy light) will turn on all interior lights in one position, and do absolutely nothing for other positions. Point in fact, the passenger side bulb remains on constantly. I had to pull the bulb just to get some peace.
I checked the fuse but it was fine. Still I replaced it with a new 15A.
Has anyone else run into this issue?
Thank you!

Are you using LED bulbs? They have a polarity, work one way and don't work the other way. Perhaps you have them mixed. I would suggest doing one at a time, i.e., insert one bulb and see if it works correctly. Remove bulb and move on to the next one. BTW, LED bulbs are a nice upgrade.

I'll double check here, shortly. Thank you!
