We have tried several times to replace the drivers side dimmer light but the new bulbs are not working. Could it be a fuse or electrical issue? Took my car to walmart to have the dimmer light replaced to no avail. They said it may be a wiring issue. My husband then bought a light bulb to replace himself but the light still wouldn't work.

That makes sense. It could be either the switch or a short in the steering column.
