    Re-check your wiring, your bulb, and the plug.

    There is nothing special about changing a 1-way lamp socket to a 3-way lamp socket, so if the two wires are attached it should work.

    • Check wiring
      Make sure there is a wire under each of the 2 screws
    • Check bulb
      Try it in another lamp (even if it is a 1-way socket)
    • Check plug
      Make sure it is secure


    All this assumes you actually have electricity at the outlet you are using. ;)

    Good luck,
