I have checked the bulb. If i wiggle the wire connected to the light it works but after a while it stops working again. is it a short? I also have a sub woofer, would that jar it loose if my car rattles too much?<br><br>Brandon

More than likely you have what is called an intermentent short, some times it works sometimes it dont. If it were me with this problem I would just go to a salvage yard and get a used plug that the wires are still good and tight in and just replace it. It might later cause a short that could burn some other ciurcut up, or cause a voltage spike. Just change out the light bulb plug with one out of a junk yard and you should be all fixed up.
