I know it is a stupid question, but it is nice to make sure that you have the correct wires.
If it does, than you must have a bad connection somewhere!! Also, in the automotive industry, the black is usually ground, it shouldn't make a difference when wiring bulbs, but you never know!! You might want to try switching the wires on the cargo lamp!

Yes, the power goes on/off to the green wire. I'm positive because I was reading 11.73V back there, then when the cargo light "timed out" I lost power to the back just like I should have.
The light is really simple. The black and white wires push down through the plastic "socket" from the same direction as the bulb, which then leaves the two pigtails sticking out the back. Aside from the color of the sheathing on the wires, they are identical.
On a side note, the plastic "socket" itself isn't even the socket. The wires have little copper terminals on the end of them that the bulb sets in. The plastic part basically holds the wires, which hold the bulb, then the plastic piece is what mates with the light housing. Here is the bulb:
Again, thanks for the help with this.
