The taillight on my M2 Cyclone isn't working.

There is power to both posts in the socket, but when I install a new 1157 bulb it won't light up.

Can anyone tell me why? I've cleaned all contact surfaces and my tester lights up with the key on but the bulb just won't work.

Is the 1157 bulb the correct bulb?

Try running a wire from the outside bulb holder to a good ground and see if it lights up. Good luck.
