Marker Lights
#1

Need some thoughts from you all...I have 2 marker lights up front, one under the passenger side window, and one under the driver side window at floor level that aren't working.  All the rest of the markers are on.  When I took one marker light off, put clips on it and attached to a battery, the light is working. However, the wires (one brown and one red) are not hot and go up inside somewhere. I believe the brown wire is ground and goes to a terminal behind the kick plate in front of the passenger seat. I'm only seeing one terminal that is marked, "marker lights"  and there are 6 white wires at that terminal.

There is a white wire going to the Marker Light fuse. I believe there are 16 marker lights, but these two are the only ones not hot.  I assume there is some kind of junction box somewhere that those Marker Light wire go to...

Tom...have you had a situation like this?

Halleluja!...that was it, Ron! If I had listened to my wife and asked the Gurus, I would have had it fixed last week and saved $50.
Thanks a million!

BTW, I now have 2 new Marker Lights for the Parts Stash.

You can see here, in the attached pic, that the lights in question are not part of the marker light system. 

In my case, the PO added led chicken lights, I kinda like them.  Wink
