Running Board Lights

[bjp22383]

Hey guys, new member here....just bought a 2000 Eddie Bauer last weekend. Ran into a problem today (just noticed it today), my passenger side running board lights aren't working anymore. Anybody know what I should check? Fuses are good

Bulbs?

What fuse/s did you check and how did you check them??

Can you read and understand wiring diagrams?

the wiring underneath can rot away from salt

bulbs are good..fuses I pulled out and checked..I think it was number 15 and 16 interior fuse box...they were working just a couple days ago..maybe ill check to see if they are getting power, im not sure. Wiring looked intact

There is a fuse in the Battery Junction Box under hood #15 it is for the running boards but you say the passenger side isn't working so the fuse may be good. When checking fuses always use a meter or test light.

There are 3 connectors on the passenger side one at each lamp and the one for the harness check the one at the harness to see if you have power there. Clean the connectors and use dielectric grease when reconnecting them
