Lighting blown Options

[deathsythe]

So I am in a bit of a pickle with my 6gc.


Back in highschool I changed out some of the lighting for LEDs, added footwells, thought I was cool, yada yada.


Somewhere along the line I must have messed up pretty damn good, because right now I don't have courtesy lights, a trunk light, the clock, and my dome will randomly display a faint glow from the LED I tossed in there, but that happens infrequently.


I checked the fuses for the dome and trunk and it all appears to be fine. I've even replaced them just in case.


I've also checked the actual bulbs/LEDs and replaced them with ones I knew to be working and am not getting anything.

Checked with a multimeter and am getting no voltage or amperage across the terminals.


For what it's worth. Climate Control unit is working fine, cig lighter is working fine, dashboard is working fine, head/tail/turns are working fine. Its just the courtesy, trunk, dome, and clock that are out.




Anyone have any ideas? I would love to get my old girl back in tip-top shape.


Thanks!

You said your not getting voltage across the terminals? Well what's the voltage before the positive in on the light? It sounds like an open circuit problem because if it was ground you would have voltage up to the light and beyond because it's never completing the circuit.

Edit. Also like special edy said it could be a connection if it's illuminating sometimes and sometimes not or faint glow because the loose connection would have very high resistance.
