I have 11.44 volts at the hood lamp contacts; battery voltage is 12. 25V or so....losing voltage somewhere and the lamp will not illuminate...not enough current available.

Need another favor from someone....What does the hood lamp circuit look like? I want to find where I am losing voltage and current.

Thanks in advance.

Appears that the last posting I did thanking those that provided the wiring diagram got lost somewhere....so THANK YOU.

I have checked operation of the lites that all share fuse 2 and found neither vanity mirror lite nor rear view mirror working. Have not checked the fuse yet, will do so tomorrow.

I assume that relay 37 is in the fuse panel at the passenger footwell....correct?

Could someone also tell me just where this I/P compartment light is at?

Thanks

Is the stock bulb a regular festoon or the one with the wire "hoop" ends?

I spliced an electrical butterfly switch into the wiring harness of my under-hood light. That way, I can turn the light on/off when I want to. Generally I leave it off so that it doesn't drain the battery when the hood is up.

Thank you!


BTW, what's a butterfly switch? I use toggles in the battery compartment.
