Dome light not working when doors open, routing new wire?
Posted: Sun Apr 01, 2018 1:40 pm
My dome light doesn't work when my doors are open, but if i put the switch to the ON position it works just fine.
The door-dependent "mode" doesn't work at all, even if i open just one door, both, or just the passenger side..
The door jamb switches work fine, because i get an indicator light on my gauge cluster when my doors open.
I checked all the fuses, they're ok. I also checked for the switched ground on the dome light connector black-white wire, and it's not grounded at all, it has 10V on it and it doesn't matter if my doors are open or not. So I'm fairly sure its that damned multiplexer unit that's faulty and I have no way of replacing it.
First I would like to try to route a new wire from the door jamb switch directly to the dome light connector, but I cannot find any good information about how to do it. Any ideas? Which panels need removing, where's the harness for the light, which wire to tap etc.
