Default Interior light out. ???

I can't figure out what is wrong. I assume it is a fuse but I have checked the ones for the interior lighting and all are good. Last week I put a new bulb in and it worked for a couple of days and now nothing. It is not the bulb because I have put another one in and same thing, no light. Anybody have any suggestions? Maybe a different fuse to check.

I forgot to mention that the front light is the one that is not working, the rear light works fine.

HA! The ole' wire jiggle is the first thing I try with everything. You should go in and edit the "write ups" and "how to" section...I can see it now, "If your _______ isn't working, Jiggle the wires man!" It has so many applications!

No it is not turned off at the switch, I haven't given it the wire jiggle yet though. I will try that and see what happens.

Shane, I have found a few places to get dirty I just haven't had the time. Soon enough...

I got the light to work... I just took the bulb out and bent the two tabs back and forth a couple of times and what do you know... It works. So it was kinda a jiggle the wire answer.
