TYPE GENDY Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Is there a fuse anywhere for the under hood lamp? The two ground wires had ripped off my hood, so i reconnected them tonight and the light still doesnt work...is there a fuse under the hood or in the dash for this??
TYPE GENDY Posted February 16, 2009 Author Posted February 16, 2009 anybody know about this? I couldnt seem to find anything labeled on the fuse boxes, but then again i dont understand all the abbreviations..
LS4U2NV Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 sorry. can't help u there. I have a '03. Mine doesn't have a underhood light.
Smitty00Z71 Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 should be the same fuse as your dome lights, etc. I pulled mine out the other day ( from the fuse box under the hood) and the hood lamp went dark, along with the other interior lights. mine is a 2002 - hope this helps...
CapitalTruck Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Muhahahahaha, I don't have to worry about looking for a fuse for my non-existant underhood light.
TYPE GENDY Posted February 17, 2009 Author Posted February 17, 2009 ok cool. dome lights still work so i maybe its the bulb that went...
bossier62guy Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 tap the thing with your finger and odds are it will start working....the entire assembly, not the bulb
02slt Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 tap the thing with your finger and odds are it will start working....the entire assembly, not the bulb +1 when it doubt, hit the damn thing. When I open my hood, the light doesn't usually come on until I give a good tap or two
711825 Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Mine quit the other day. I figured the bulb had blown but it wasn't. I had to take it apart and clean the contacts.
Rat4go Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 tap the thing with your finger and odds are it will start working....the entire assembly, not the bulb +1 when it doubt, hit the damn thing. Silly switch that used to be use before they just removed it was not so good. Bulb base doesn't like the underhood area either (corrosion). Tapping it works for a while. If you put a new bulb in it, coat the base with some dielectric grease to slow down the corrosion issue.
sonjaab Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Check either stud 1 or 2 (forgot which) in your underhood fuse center.
TYPE GENDY Posted March 9, 2009 Author Posted March 9, 2009 forgot to report back here! Just wanted to let u guys i know i took it apart and clean the contacts on the "slide" and that fixed her up nice. thanks guys
711825 Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Glad to hear it...Remember what you did to fix it cause we'll probably have to do it again in a year or two!!!
