Problem. Someone help?

I got the LED lights for the front overhead console. Right side works, no problems.

Factory halogen bulb was working OK in the left side, I took it out to put the LED in there, didn't work. Took it out, now the halogen bulb won't work either.

What should I do? I don't know how I could have blown a fuse if the other side is working OK.

Fuse number 14 (15A) is good, when removed, the rest of the dome lights shut off and when put back the rest came on.

Relay number 1 (interior lamp relay) is pretty hot to the touch... don't know if that's normal or would have any correlation with only one dome light not working.






I got it to work when I put the other LED on top of it?

Using a test light check for power on each of the bulb contacts with the lamp switch on. If there isn't any then drop the console and check inside for breaks or burns in the wiring. From the pics it looks like you have the trip computer, there are two hot wires from the trip computer, one for each light. A pink one and a green/violet one. Check for power at the computer plug also. If they both have power then you have a bad ground on the left side. The ground is located in the back hump or inner side wall, driver side.

One other thing, try turning the bulb, not sure if they need to be in a specific way - they are diodes by the way....current will only flow in one direction.

I put the green LED in there and it works when it wants to now? I have no clue guys...

Pinch the bulb holders together. You might not be getting full contact. I know some of those LEDs have bigger than normal/loose contacts, and it may not be getting full contact. Could also be why the halogen wouldn't work.

Go in with a multimeter and make sure you are getting consistent voltage.
