OK guys I am stumped. I have a 2009 Tahoe Z71 with trailer towing package. I am the original owner. No mods. I noticed yesterday that the driver's side backup light is out. I pulled the bulb, it looked good, I applied 12v to it on my workbench and it checked good. I cleaned the bulb socket, put the bulb back into the Tahoe and it still did not work. I pulled out my multimeter and it shows 12v at the two terminals in the socket when the Tahoe is put in reverse. For the heck of it I swapped the left and right backup bulbs and that fixed nothing. The driver's side bulb worked fine in the passenger side but the passenger side bulb did not light up in the driver's side either. Not sure what to chase as I see a solid 12v on the socket pins with my multimeter when it goes into reverse. I've even tried bending the pins up on the bulb and the socket thinking it might not be making good contact with the socket pins but no joy. Any ideas?
