Yes, several. Found a bad contact where the anchor light slides into
it's mount. The positive contact was good, ground side wasn't. John "sherwindu" wrote in message ... This may seem obvious, but have you tried a different bulb? If you are just testing for continuity through the bulb itself, that may not give you the full story on how the bulb behaves under power. The bulb should be the equivalent of a simple resistor, but who knows. Sherwin D. Midlant wrote: I have a 2 pole socket. One hot one ground. I have power to the one contact. Bulb is good, but will not light in the socket. With the bulb in the socket and power on, I test light will read lit on either bulb terminal (I can fit the test light underneath the open socket. Makes no sense to me. Bulb out of socket, one terminal has power, the other don't. Bulb won't light. Bulb in socket and power is getting thru the bulb and test probe light will light on backside of either terminal. Ideas? This is on a 1987 Starcraft 22ft center console (aluminum). Thanks John |
