Mirror / sunvisor illumination

[Grant620]

Hi there.
Trying to get the little lights above the sin visors to work...
I've got good bulbs in there and 12v going to them, but no light...
Very confused...
Bulbs I've tested and confirm they light up with a direct 12v.
With the bulb removed there are 12v across the "bulb terminals".
But with the bulb in place there is 0v

Help!
LOL!

You have a bad connection somewhere, 12V with no demand, as soon as you start drawing current it will drop, a good lesson, always test with a similar resistance in place. Try the sun visor contact at the pivot, it may need cleaning, if thats ok it may be the dreaded water ingress further back.

When you say the sun visor pivot point - do you mean the one that is "fixed" or the one where the visor can "pop" out?
Thanks
