Default engine bay light not working?

Ok, is it burned out, or some glitch i need to look into? opened and closed the hood a few times, and the light would not come on!

Thanks for any tips

Are you sure it isn't coming on when the hood is closed? :D :p:

It's probably just the bulb.

It is on a timer, it goes out after so long. I'm not sure, but you might have to turn ignition switch on to reset it.

There are a couple wires that plug together near where the hood meets the front fascia. Mine has come unplugged before you might want to check this. If it isn't that the bulb probably needs replaced.

If you bought from a dealer and it was in the showroom, many unplug the light under the hood. I never plugged mine in on the C4, and my C5 is currently unplugged. The plug, as stated previously, is on the passenger side. Just trace the wires down from the light and you will find it.
