The door switch tested OK. All connections that we could see were good. No bare or loose wires in the light. No corrosion or rust evident at either end of the connections.

The light has three switch positions: Door, Off and On. The continuity tester showed proper connection in all three positions. There are two wires feeding the light: red with white stripe and blue with yellow stripe. Neither of these showed voltage. Is there a relay or timer in the circuit that would affect the light function?
