Default LED problem..

Ok...... it started out my right front blinker went out - Michael changed that, no problems. Then I wanted him to check my map lights (LEDS) not working either. He took the bulbs out, straightened some of the connectors, put them back in - nothing. Meanwhile, the cargo & footwheel lights are out as well. He checked the fuses - everything seems to ok. He was saying a few cuss words I cannot repeat on here

Any suggestions to what is going on?? If this helps any, I had the old map light bulbs & he put those in...and they work. I just don't think it's the LEDS. The footwell ones are less then a week old, the map lights & cargo ones are maybe a year old.

AND to top it off....... my keyless entry won't work... new battery, did the directions to resync the transmitter.. works well, then after a minute or so if you hit the button.. nothing. I think it's the keyless entry - Michael just shakes his head


I seriously need a jeep

Were these 'store bought' LED's or some made up by the many various ways of DIY'ers who have done this mod?

If the latter, could be resistors not being correct value and they popped, or reverse polarity not making them light up......

No clue on the FOB situation.
