Door puddle light problem.. how serious?

[gto093]

Hi, I think im in a trouble.
I was changing my interior lights to LEDs,
Everything went fine but when I was changing the puddle light on the passenger door, it all happened..
I pulled it out from the harness and changed the bulb and put it back in just like i did on other doors. But then it won't turn on.. I flipped the bulb 180degress still it won't work. Moreover, the red light on the door (another light that is turned on when the door is open) stopped working as well..
I guess i accidentaly broke wires or something..?
I have no clue what i did.. or what went wrong.. and I am worried..
Should i take it to the dealership or a bodyshop? Is it covered under warranty..?
will it be expansive to get it fixed?

Man, im worried.. help me..

Check if the red light on the edge of the door is out. I had the same thing happen on my front passenger door. I kept trying bulbs. Took a while, and a lot of different bulbs, to realize that the red bulb was out. I swapped in one of the other old wedge bulbs to replace the burnt one and it worked

You can only use one led in each door. The red has to stay a normal bulb. System freaks out or something because of the low power draw. Ideas about it on here somewhere.

put the regular bulbs back in and if it doesnt work then check the fuse. If its does work then your led bulbs might be bad

even when i put the regular bulb back in, it won't work..

how do i check the fuse by the way..?
i am NOOB so..

[gto093]

and i didnt change the bulb inthe red light..
only the puddle on the bottom..
can i possibly break the wires or somethign while pulling the cover from the harness.??

check your fuses

U shouldn't be modding if u don't know how to check a fuse

[gto093]

sorry i am a noob..
now i know how to check the fuses..
i will do it when i get back home
but is it possible to blow a fuse while changing lights?
and if a fuse is blown.. is it easy to replace it?

[gto093]

hey.. i just checked the fuse and it seems it is alright..
it seems like driver and passenger door share the same fuse and driver's door is obviously working too..
what is the problem here...

i am sure it wouldnt be expensive to fix, i would take it to either the dealership or any automotive install place that have an experience with electrical installs (i.e. sound systems or the likes)

[gto093]

thanks..
i guess i will have to take it to the dealership..

did you fix it. i have the same problem too. but, my front and back passenger side door lights dont work... i check the fuse and its good. also, check the blubs and they are good too. any info would help thanks...

this happened to me installing my LED's too

but its not that they didnt work, its just they went out (as normal)

try closing, locking, unlocking, opening, that did it for me
