Under Hood Light

[700 sportsman]

So, my underhood reel light has been on the fritz lately, it was working, then I pressure washed the engine, and it quit again, I just figured something got a little wet, and now it has been working for about 2 weeks, and now it doesn't work again, is there any common fixes for these lights, I was suspecting the connection at the bulb, but I can't figure out how to get under the socket to check.

Also does anyone know the part #, if I have to replace it

 

Thanks in advance

Never looked at it, completely pointless. I do hate that the box has torx screws, wtf happened to phillips? As for underhood lights, I loved the one my parents had in their 95 Suburban, it clipped under the hood but came off and had a huge cord that could pretty much reach anywhere around the vehicle, I want one of those.

 

RICH, what's the part number for those old units? Can they still be purchased??? I might try to add on to my truck.

 

 

 

+1

 

Good idea if they are even still available? If so, count me in.

 

 

Where is the Wheelphotofailanater anyway?

 

 

Circuit City?

 

 

If only.

 

 

Oh funny guys,real funny

Actually I was at Best Buy on Saturday,But I didn't buy a camera (My friend needed a cord for her I-Pod for her car)

I did look at DVD players however,Nope....I ain't got a DVD player either

 

The retractable underhood light is still available from GM,Its part number 15990293 and lists for $78.98

no, my '96, but I did get it working last night, I had to open up the ligh bulb end, and re solder the joints, and I also opened up the main casing, and inspected and greased up in there, and now it works fine

and for future knowledge the under hood lights are on the horn circuit in the fuse box
