Trunk light bulb stopped working??? /fuse fix
 

Originally, the trunk light in my 03' 350z had a cool white LED bulb in it. It wasn't bright enough to my liking, so i went and bought a super bright LED bulb from superbrightleds.com. As soon as I go to remove the older bulb and install the new one, it wouldn't light up at all even though it fit perfectly; nice and snug. So I go to try and put the older bulb back in, and that DID NOT light up either. Tried turning the ignition over to see if that would do anything, nothing... I tried unplugging and plugging the connector back in to see if that will do anything, and it still didn't light up. Any suggestions as to why this stupid issue came up?? -__-

Try reversing the connector. Most LED's are sensitive that way.

Old one no longer works?

I'm guessing you blew a fuse.

this... i learned that after beating my head on the wall for a couple hours

i would contact diode dynamics, they are a vendor on here

Have a look at this one - best and brightest you'll find:

I've got one in my '08, as well as the dome lights:

The old was still working at first. But ever since I attempted to replace it with the bigger and brighter LED, neither bulbs work.

Can you get a meter on the socket?

After searching for hours, I found the third fuse box underneath the steering wheel. Trunk light fuse (10 amp) was there and was blown. swapped the fuse and the light started working again :)

hoo-ahh...
called it. :thumbup:

I'll take a look at my fuses this week as I have the same problem but which fuse is it specifically ? (I'm looking in the manual but can't see)
Obviously if it's blown I'll see which one it is of course :icon38:

Ignore that - just realised it should have a sticker in there but if not:

I used my multimeter i got reading of 11.2v and the trunk light is not turning on.
When I ignite I got 14.1v and still bulb is not on.
and I used other powerbank with 12v output and was the light is working.

my scenario what could be wrong i even tried to reverse (+ and -) the bulb and attached still didn't work


its supper unknowing why its not working
individual tested
1.bulb work with powerbanks 12v and not work with car trunk wires
2. Getting power in the socket all the way till where I connect the bulb in the trunk wire
