'98 SOHC 4x.
Both my puddle lights have gone out. Checked all interior fuses and they are all good. Checked mirror slide switch and that's ok. A suggestion here was to check the "puddle lamp relay." Is there such a thing? Never heard of that one. One post said that it is located in the rear quarter panel where the jack is located. Sorry, but there is a wiring cross-connect there but no relays. I assume the 'puddle lamp relay' on my '98 is in the engine compartment fusebox on the driver's side. Anyone know exactly which one it is?
As a side note, why don't manufacturers make a relay that has a 'failed' indicator on it? Fuses at least are made clear to easily see if it has failed. I'm no EE but I would think that might be easy to do on a relay and would be a great help in diagnosing elec system issues.
