On the bulb socket with the metal prongs and metal edges.. Use a little sand paper and sand off the corrsion a little bit....do it as you go, and the bulb should fire up again. When you put the bulb back in and put the gizmo that holds the bulb back into the talil light assembly, move it around a little bit and keep the lights on so you can see when it fires up. I do this every couple of months...
Great tip primetime, thank you.
