Angry How do I fix the keyhole illumination problem?

I was wondering how to fix my drivers side keyhole. It no longer lights up. When I got the car back from the body shop, it stopped lighting up. Is there an easy solution to my problem?

Does the ignition key light work? They are on the same fuse I believe, and both are activated by a switch in the door handle. If the ignition light doesn't work its the fuse or the switch. If its just the door key light that doesn't work its just the bulb. Take off the door panel to gain access and replace the bulb.

what was done at the body shop?

If it was work on/in the door chances are they just didin't plug the light back in, or put it back into the socket.

Could be a bad bulb as well.

It is on the same circuit as the ign key light so if that is working you know the power is getting through.

Well, they put a new door on. The door did not have power windows does that make any difference?
