Drivers side door light doesn't work
 
I own a 5th gen Accord and my door light (the one in the inside of the car that lights up when you open your door) isn't working anymore. It used to go off every now and then but if you jiggled the light around it would come back on, but now it doesn't work at all. Anyone had this problem before? And if so how did you fix it?

Probably a loose wire in it.

Pull the light out from the door and check the connections and make sure they are tight and rust free. If they are loose just replace the clips on it (easy job 5 minutes max) if that doesn't work then you may have blown the bulb in it and just replace that as well.

The connections are good and the light definitely works cause I've tried it in different sockets like my back door that work good. Could there be something wrong w/ the wiring inside my door?

How about the door switch? You know, the little switch on the door jam? When you open your door, does the door ajar indicator light turn on? It took me a while to figure out my friend's '93 Accord and they were the damn problem!
