Bad bulb ? Bad socket ? No continuity of wires from socket to board ?
I would think a bad transistor would lock the light on.

Got a part number ?

Quoted from GPS:I had a socket that was in backwards. Who knows what kind of issues that could have injected.
Two wires and no diode. Backwards or forwards shouldn't matter.

I'd be curious how it might have. Unless facing a different direction shorted to something else.
Otherwise you have DC light bulbs. In a socket. Power goes through one wire - through the bulb in a socket - and out the other wire and the bulb lights. Swap the wire or socket around, and you didn't change anything. Power goes through the wire - through the bulb in the socket - and out the other wire and the bulb lights. Since this is DC and no polarity involved. Electricity doesn't know which way the socket faces.
