Driver side running board lights...
Looking for the next tip here. i did a few searches, and no clear answers.
The passenger side running board lights are A-ok and working fine. I just put in the LED lights from a thread about other light options, they look great.
The driver side however, does not light up. Any tips on other connections to check? are there fuses for them seperately? The connectors wee a bit junked up, so i may be looking at picking up a few new connectors to try it out.
Any thoughts appreciated

i made it worse
My tag lights were out and the front light on the drivers side running board was out. I replaced the tag light bulbs and they woked fine. I replaced the front drivers side running board light and had to really wiggle the old bulb to get it out. Once it came out a small corner of the old bulb felt like it disentigrated inside the fixture and broke off inside the fixture. I looked inside it and it was corroded and gunked up. I took a small pointy ice pick and scraped all the corrosion and gunk out of the socket and put a new bulb inside the socket. It didn't work and now none of my running board lights are working. What happend. I just bought this 2002 excursion, so I am still learning and getting used to it. One thing I also noticed was that when I turned on the key after cleaning out that bulb socket and replacing the bulb, is that when I turned on the key, I was used to hearing the typical sounds of the dings and seeing the warning lights in the dash come on, including the glow plug light, and then they go out and I start the truck. This time I got no dings and no glow plug light, but it still started. What' happend?
