Classic Ford Map Light Repair.

If you have a classic Ford that has one of these "map lights" that is not working. Here is the common fix. First take a digital multi meter and make sure you have 12v at the main power wire under the map light. Once you confirm the power wire is ok and the actual light bulb is good, you can move on to this step. 

this little pin switch is most likely the problem

you must first remove the plastic cover by cutting the small plastic welded points

once you carefully remove the plastic cover, be carful not to lose the spring that holds the metal conection ring in place 

you now need to clean the contacts and the copper connection ring with a wire brush, once it's free of corrosion resemble reversing the order used to dissemble 

 you will now need to find a way to keep that plastic cover in its original place, I used plastic welder glue. Super glue or a good strong quick drying glue should work just fine

And that's it!! All done, I actually really like these map lights, I wish I had one in my truck :)
