Default Festoon LED bulb intermittent problem

FESTOON FESTOON FESTOON FESTOON FESTOON FESTOON


My festoon led bulb in my overhead would work when it wants to.
Would cold weather affect the bulb?
Seems like when I first get into the car the led would not work.

Try squeezing the contact points closer together so the festoon bulb stays in place....maybe its just loose and not making contact.....or.....the LED has burnt out (it happens....believe me).

Oh it still works..Just that sometimes it will not work so I'm sure it is not burnt out. I will check the connections again.
Thanks

Check all the doors trigger buttons to make sure they're not sticking. The buttons are usually behind a rubber protective covering. Couple shots of WD40 should fix that.

Not the doors, The LED is not turning on when I flip the switch.
I have a feeling that the extreme cold weather would cause it.
