Map lights not turning on in 1996 F150
The map lights in my 96 F150 won't turn on when I flip either of the switches.
The dome light works fine as well as the cargo light. There is power going to the Light Green/Yellow wire and I did some testing on the board and it seems that all of the components are working (switches, bulbs). I'm assuming there is an issue with the board that all of the parts sit on but I can't seem to find where the issue is.
Can anyone offer any insight? Thanks

Since it's not that complicated of a part I'd pull it out, get a couple wires and hook it directly to the battery. Then use a test light to follow the current path. There might be a small break somewhere that isn't easy to see.
