Everything else works, running lights, blinkers, emergency lights, horn, dome light, brake lights. I know mostly everything under the hood is aluminum, which corrodes faster than steel. All fuses are good too. Any drivability techs out there know of a common problem, when they sit for a while?

I'll look for frayed wires. Everything is wrapped so tight under this hood it's almost impossible to do anything.

check the fuse first, then the relay in the engine compartment, then check the switch.

Yes, checked the fuses and the relay and the switch. I think it's a bad ground somewhere. Oh, and for you Morans, it's not my car, I'm getting PAID to fix it.

Bad bulbs?
Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.

I'd like to go quietly in my sleep, like grandpa did. Not screaming in terror like the people in the back seat of the car he was driving.

check for voltage at the socket. Check the continuity of the ground from the socket to its connection at the body. The multi-function switch may be bad if you'e not getting voltage there. If you have voltage, just replace the bulbs. It's possible that the bulbs may have popped over time and the person not have noticed until they all failed.
