Wondering if there is anyone with some wiring experience here to help me out. Unrelated to my acura RL, but maybe a tech is on here.
Have an issue with two bulbs, type 74. I can't get them to light in the pictured configuration. Blue is hot and brown is ground. I have tested both sockets as pictured and individually and no light. I have continuity on the ground side and on the blue side, but no continuity between blue and brown, which means no short occurring so that's good. Power source is coming from a car jumper: Red is hot/pos and attached to blue wires, black is ground/neg and attached to brown wires. Could both bulbs and or sockets potentially be bad? Anyway to check the sockets for power with a DMM?
The lights stopped working because of a ground short at a switch on the circuit, that was unfused (caused a small fire and melted the switch). Basically, these lights were dash lights, controlled by a headlight switch. You turn the headlights on, these lights are supposed to come on. Can a socket short out?
Is my wiring right? I think it is, but just need a sanity check.
Thx and sorry for the off topic post.
