INFO NEEDED - CITY LIGHTS NOT WORKING
Does anyone know what fuse number the city lights are on??? I cant find it and I've just about gone nuts.
My LED city lights that I have had in the car for a while, one of them went out. I put in a new one and its not working. Swapped the driver (working light) into the passenger and not working. Put it back into the driver side, and now that one isn't working as well. I am guessing that I blew a fuse?
Applied 12.5 volts via power supply to all of my replacement LED bulbs and they are all working outside of the vehicle. When I attempt to install in vehicle they are not.
Thoughts? I never had an issue before when replacing on this vehicle in the past.

Power cycle your vehicle to reset the SAM. During your series of swapping, if a test was made while no bulb or bulb in wrong polarity was in it, vehicle will cut off power to that socket thinking you have a blown bulb.... After all why have a parasitic power draw if bulbs busted .

AZN Optics thank you 
I didn't even have the keys on me when I was changing out the bulbs to troubleshoot, but it made a lot more sense now.
Would have saved me the 2 hours of stress.
