Ive had 3 different Stangs that came stock with the Map Lights. Try taking the 2 screws out of it and pulling it out of the headliner, Be sure all the connections are clean and not corroaded.

yea i took it out and nothing is corroded i was actually at the junk yard and found one in a mustang the same model year as mine so i just picked it up charger me a buck for it. that one looks very clean as well i tried both and still nothing so i guess i gotta test everything around it

Theyre factory but only for a few years.

I've had those map lights in two of my cars... in one of them, the switch became corroded or just bad. But, if you said you replaced the whole unit with a junk yard part, I would check to see if you are getting power to the leads... a multimeter will make quick work of that. If you are getting power, then you know there's something wrong with both. If you aren't then you can check the fuses and if that's okay, you can try to trace back the wiring and look for a ground or bad wire.

+1 on mattdel wasting post space and being a noob. Those lights are not custom haha I have one also. but yea anyway I would take it apart and check wires I guess, but mostly wanted to say mattdel...... is a ROOK! I hate it when people waste post space with nothing helpful

ok you need to learn who the people are on this forum that you dont run your mouth about... as was stated above, the "map light" was an option only for a few years, and NONE of my wiring diagrams show it as even being in the car at all.
Not to mention that the 3 of these cars I've owned never had it.
So stop calling people rook, and noob. You have no idea who I am.
