So ... yesterday the other DrC was driving the Jeep and, sure enough, the stays-on-whenever-driving front passenger-side light was out again. We could take it back to the dealer but apparently the only “fix” they understand is replacing the bulb.
That might work, if the problem isn’t somehow in the wires bringing power to the bulb. I had a problem like this 20+ years ago and finally had to track down an auto electric shop to fix it. I’m not certain such places still exist in this era of computerized cars.
I’m inclined to ignore the issue, as it doesn’t interfere with drivability, but the memsahib is unhappy with it. Like everybody else who’s been married for almost 50 years knows, her unhappiness must be attended to. More on this later....
