Re: [DML] door marker lights

["Piszar" <piszar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tom, you bring up some great points.  I had a fuse issue at one 
point with my car for the door market lights and I checked the 
diodes as well.  They were all fine.  

The problem turned out to simply be some corrosion on one of the 
bulb sockets.  Chris, your issue may be a very quick fix of simply 
removing each bulb and cleaning the sockets.
