under hood light

I noticed that my under-hood light was not working so I checked the bulb and it looks good. Then I used a test light and tested the power. Nothing. On closer inspection I noticed that the wire that carries juice to the light was not connected to anything. There is a connector at the firewall end of the hood that is just off by itself. I've looked and I can't seem to locate any joining connector that is not in place. Does anyone know where the light gets it's power from?

    Found it. It was tucked up under the wiper motor cover.

    yea, it goes off when I lower the hood. Have people had problems with that?

    Some have said it says on and drains the battery. I just leave mine unplugged unless I need it ;-)

    it was going off but since I had bat problems right after that fix I decided to keep it disconnected anyway. Not sure it that was the real problem but at least now it won't ever be a problem. Since it was disconnected when I bought it that leads me to believe the previous owner may have thought the same thing.

    I'm sure mine goes off when the hood is lowered. I don't keep a bulb in the socket, cause I always forget it's there when I do a car show. By the time I remember to pull it at a show, it's too darn hot. The bulb lives in my glovebox.
