Cargo light doesn't work when replaced.

My rear cargo light was out so I replaced it and it still doesn't work. What should I do?

Check the fuses?

Is it both lights or just the rear one?

Are you sure the switch at the light isn't in the off position? Press on the lens. I can turn mine off & on that way.

Don't laugh but i just discovered this a couple days ago. I was trying to fix the rear hatch light but it wouldn't come on no matter what I tried or replaced. Then....someone mentioned what you said......and it turned on.

I had no idea it was a press-on light. lol I hope this happened to the OP too cuz i won't be the only one

My '92 and '87 have a black button on the side to turn it off completely or on to work with other interior lights.

Newer ones don't have a switch like our older one do, but the cover is the on/off switch just press on or off as needed.
