Hi I need some electrical support in fixing my driver side courtesy door light. The bulb went bad and today i replace the bulb but it does not work I inserted the bulb one way and tried the other by just flipping the bulb I checked the fuse s and they are all good the box on the passenger side are all fine and under the hood is also fine. Maybe i bought the wrong bulb i purchase stanley 158 same size when i matched it up with what was in there. Any help with fixing this call out would be great last option is to take to the dealer but i figured I could do some trouble shooting before i take it in.

Thanks in advance.

 

come to think of it my old cb7(90-93accord) had a shortage in one of the the back door courtesy light but that car was like 18 years old if its a shortage in the tl that would be crazy the car is just 3 years and change.

 

did you try taking the passenger side bulb out and putting it on the driver side.. it could just be that the bulb you got does not work..

if not get a voltage tester from harbor freight for like 3 bucks.. test if there is power going through the wires on your driver side door

 

I was close to doing that then i said to myself I just bought 2 new bulbs and they don't work I guess I just have to do that and If still I don't get it working the contingency will have to be get the voltage tester...

 

tried the bulbs and they all work , used a voltage tester electricity are flowing through the wire harness of the courtesy light male connector my guess is just the assembly female connector are just bad i will start looking for a replacement female assembly anyone that can chime in in assisting let me know as far as having the same issue or part number to ref.

 

I think I had the same issue. Went to change the bulbs to led and the driver door wouldn't come on, then the passenger door stayed even when closed. Took it in and they said the ground went bad for some reason. They changed out both fuse assemblies in the cabin and that got it fixed.

 

the fuse assembly? is that the whole unit or just the fuses? if so i have an assortment box of fuses from 5-30 for the courtesy light it is 7.5a which i also have a fuse tester I will check all on the passanger side kick plate.

 

The whole unit. Both the driver and passenger foot well ones. I had a weird issue with one of the rear doors occasionally not locking or unlocking too and the switch out solved that.

 

guess ill just have to take it in and have them look at it

 

reporting back the courtesy door light are still out anybody have a solution..brought it to the dealer and they said your car doesnt come with courtesy door lights
