[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3823090, member: 26737"] If it were a polarity issue, it should always happen in the same socket, but, if I read it correctly, the LED bulbs will work in all three sockets, just not if all three sockets have LED bulbs in them. To me, that points to a voltage issue, where there's not enough voltage to activate the third LED. I'd look for bad connections, or maybe corrosion on the contacts. An incandescent bulb isn't as voltage-sensitive, so it'll work, just dimly, if it's under voltage, whereas an LED needs a certain amount of voltage to work. [/QUOTE]
