Default UnderHood Light went out (Help)

My Battery went OUT after 4 1/2years.

It was sudden while I was running a few things with the car off. So the sudden surge might have blown a fuse or something.

Not sure if it is a fuse or the light bulb?? I am not sure what fuse that light under the hood corresponds to.

I thought it was #19 (10 FUSE) That is in the fuse panel near the battery, but that #19 was OK.

Is it the bulb or is there another fuse I am missing???


Also, if it is the bulb, where do I get one??? I took it out and looked at it and it looks somewhat unique.

Thanks

Gary

Is it the Battery or the light bulb under the hood? I'm thinking it is really the light under the hood?? You speak of both.... But back to the bulb...This has a timer you know.. if you leave the hood open for a while, it automatically shuts off... But I'm guessing since you have all these mods, you know what is going on??

I'd check the light socket first with a test light or meter... Dealer will have a bulb... We just went thru all of this last week on here with another guy... You might try a search for that...

There is a wire that plugs into the light in the hood that sometimes comes loose. Make sure the plug is connected. You can get the bulb at the dealer if you need one. I may have an extra though if you need one.

Glad you found the problem. If you have any other fuse trouble, the fuse block under the passenger side foot area has the fuses you'd be looking for.

Glad you found the problem. Nice that all it was was a loose connection.
