corner light prob

Hey people,
I was wondering if any1 could help me out? My front passenger corner light, the bulb that is a marker bulb and also a turn sig indicator is dead. I hooked it up to the multi meter and got like 3-4 volts off of it. i was wondering if any1 has the same prob and what could i possibly do to it to fix it. when i follow the wire for that bulb it runs right into the firewall with a bunch of wires that look identical to it :banghead: . Reason its bothering me soo much cause i wanted to hook my front bumper lights to it, so they are on all the time :sunglasse .
And last prob, when i open my doors to my car, my dome light doesnt go on, and that prevents my alarm from going off cause i guess the change in voltage triggers a sensor. so im not quite sure what to do so if any1 could help id appreciate it thanks
Dustin

Have you tried replacing the bulb?

Replace the driver side door switch for the other problem

check connection at terminals. shouldnt it be like 12Volts? if the voltage is that low...there MAY be a short circuit. i had some kind of problem similar to that with my old car...something like a short circuit...changed the terminals that holds the bulb then it was fine. as for the other problem...do what jackasssi said...it may be the switch. electrical problems with cars are usually at the end points or terminals coz the middle parts are usually well protected.

Hey Jackasssi thats uh good idea replacing the switch, im sure those contacts inside eventually wear down. thanks for ur input.
sup mycivic,
yea my car sumtimes leaks from thw windshield and runs down into the dash so im hoping and praying that wasnt the prob. But im gonna check out the connectors and stuff today to see what happens. damn that would make my day if something that small got resolved. I think today im gonna put those PIAA hyper white marker bulbs in my corners. take it ez and thanks for the replies, ill get back to ya on the results
