Rear seat interior lights

Before I mention to dealer, is there something I need to do to make the rear seat lights work? Both sides seem to be inoperative. I have pressed the switch with the door open and closed but neither side lights up. Thanks.

Press the lights inside the car.. I thought they could be activated and deactivated on each side if you press the lights like a switch.

Thnaks. That's what I've done. Sat in the car, waited for all the other lights to go off, and then pressed the switches on the lights themselves. Nothing. Walked over to my wife's '14 ML, and did the same. Lights went on and off with the switch on the light. Just seems odd that both bulbs could be burned out.

Maybe a fuse is out?

Factory uses a “claw” type tool to remove them. The thing that look like a cover to pop off to reach a screw is more like a plug. The tool grabs in that slot then you pull it straight out as it will then slide right out. Will then allow removal of the light fixture.

Told designed to save time by avoiding screws.

Dealer replaced driver's side bulb yday. Pass side bulb ok, so they ordered a new housing.

Guess what? The pass side light started working all on its own. Gremlins.....
