The owner pulls the cover, finds a bent contact tab causing a bad connection, bends it back, and confirms the light works, while also griping about an ongoing radiator cap leak. It's a minor DIY repair diary, not a spec review, useful mainly for new 5610 owners chasing similar electrical gremlins.
Posted by an owner-operator documenting real ownership issues on their own new Massey 5610, with a generally favorable but unpolished, off-the-cuff perspective.
It can be a bad connection from a bent metal contact tab inside the socket, not a broken bulb or wiring problem.
Remove the three screws holding the cover, pull the bulb, check the contact tabs, and bend the higher tab down so it makes contact again.
The owner suspects the bulb could have been put in backwards at the factory, which may have bent the tab and caused the bad connection.
