Need help again

Ok. The gear shift and boot are installed - no rips or cracks. Looks really nice. But...

Darn thing doesn't light up. I spliced to power and ground wire to the ashtray light. Should work - right? Ignition on, car running, nothing. Headlights on, car running, nothing. I don't have a voltage tester (I'm going to get one), but this should be working - right?

The wires to the gearshift are red and brown. The wires to the ashtray light are blue and brown. I spliced brown to brown, and red to blue. I even tried reversing polarity, no luck.

I don't know if the ashtray light ever worked, it was disconnected when I got the car. So maybe there's no power.

What else can I check?
