It's happened to me too. Check the connection, follow the wire, goes down by the air cleaner.

Same here but haven't looked into it, if it added power, it would be fixed

There are some other lamps on this circuit....... do these work okay on your car??

1) Vanity Visor Lamps
2) Map Lamps
3) Glovebox Lamp
also.... AutoDim mirror is on this circuit (if you have this option)

If these do work, this would rule out a fuse or relay problem. I'm guessing the on/off mechanism inside the underhood lamp housing could go bad due to corrosion. If the above three lamps work, then I would say you have either a wiring problem from the relay to the lamp, or a bad assembly.

WTF, mine too. You all made me just go out side in the dark and check..... You'd have thought stuff like this would not fail after having a car a year, thanks GM.
