2012 expey INTERIOR COURTESY MAP LIGHT

Andy,

it's the housing for sure. the wires/connections are registering as hot, so I am going to toy with the connector in the housing. I have a feeling that the bulb is not connecting flush with the housing. i'll work on it this weekend and share my results (or failures).

Flexpedition,

great Idea! I didn't think they were interchangeable due to left/right angles of the headliner.
I'll give it a shot.

thanks again.

Once you have it disconnected, look down in the socket area and make sure that the contacts are in the right place and not bent. It is possible when you installed the LED you bent one of the terminals.

The left and right are interchangeable If I remember correctly. They are just stamped aluminum or tin.

Andy,

sorry for the long delay, life crept up on me. The light issue has been resolved, it was the push button switch that was faulty.
ordered a new switch for $1.25, and presto.
Thanks for all of your advice.
