[C320-list] Interior lights

[HOLLY DAVIS]

I pried off the covers.  The bulbs are ok, so I cleaned the contacts with acetone.  Is this the right stuff to use?  Still no luck.  Guess my next move is to remove the 2 screws and clean the wire contacts.  I also noticed some of the lights had o rings and some didn't.  Does this make a difference?

> One other comment -- I also have an older hull (#108).  I found that, even thought the light is out, the bulb may be OK.  Once you pry off the cap, try cleaning the contacts and putting the same bulb back in.  I found this works almost every time and have yet to need to replace a bulb.  One one occasion, I also had to remove the two screws that hold the unit in place and then clean the wire contacts.  I believe you can examine the bulb to look for broken filaments to be sure it is actually a bad bulb.
