My puddle lamps have stopped working. The passenger side hasn't worked in a while. I found that bulb was burned out. The driver side worked last night. Today, I worked on the window control panel on the driver side door as well as the radio. Tonight, the puddle lamps do not work. I have tried known good bulbs to no avail. Checked the voltage and it reads 0.9V to 2.3V on my Fluke. What else can I check?
 






As a follow-up on my puddle light issue. The circuit must run through the dimmer switch. I rolled it back and forth a few times and it works. That could explain the erroneous voltage readings I was getting.
 






Mine don't work on either truck, with the exception being the drivers side on my 2000, I've never known a thing about diagnosing it though I wish I could fix them up eventually.
