first unlit bulb, gently push (don't twist) each
bulb base firmly into the socket. If still does
not light, then remove each based bulb to
check for out of place lead wires. Open fuse
door and check fuses.
If a bulb is broken
Bulbs may have hit against each other
when transporting
Mark socket(s) with a piece of tape and
unplug the set before removing the based
bulb from the socket. Replace the broken
bulb. Should another bulb flicker while
