puddle lights in doors

I have checked all the fuses. None were out. I have used the dash lighting settings. Still no door lights when the door is opened. How to fix????
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Change the bulbs?

If you switched to LED, flip the bulbs...

Check for corrosion on the connections when you remove the bulb...

You bought the car like that? Maybe haning the door locks many people break the cable that lights the door, check the inner handle light to see if its working also.

New LEDs in both front doors. Flipped several times to no avail. I have no other "electical" problems. Everything else works as it should. Must be time to take it to a pro.

I just told you. Check the inner handle light at night. If it's not on, then they broke the flex cable that do the entire ilumination on the door, including the lower red one when the door is open.

Thanks. The inner handle light works and the flex cable is intact. A local electrical guru will look at it next week.
