Hi Paul:

I feel like I just answered this question. Regardless, I will assume you have checked the fuse and bulbs. First, use a test light to see if there is power to the light socket. If there is, you may have a defective bulb, or the socket may be bad. If you don't have power, remove the switch located in the door frame. Check if there is power to the switch. If there is, the switch will need replaced. If there is no power, you will need to follow the power wire back until you get power. At that point, you will need to determine if the wire needs repaired or replaced.
