Puddle lights on the bottom of the door.

Hi all

I was prepping my car for sale the other night and I discovered that my doors have some sort of convenience puddle lights on the bottom.

They didn't work steadily though. The driver's side blinked on once or twice... but then refused to stay steady on... and the passenger's side never turned on. Both bulbs were still good as far as I can tell.

Any suggestions on how to test the circuit/bulbs?

Thanks!

I would take a multimeter and see if you have any voltage coming to the wires or even the bulb holder.

Could even just be dirty contacts on the bulb holder. Mine worked fine, but I replaced them with LEDs and love it!
