my dome light is always on and the door switches are new. (i changed them thinkin they were bad) . it also seems weird that the courtesy lights under neath the dash we removed ( i found the driver one hidden under there without a bulb but i still have not found the one int he passenger side... any input on why my dam dome light doesnt shut off. (headlight switch is also brand new):crazy:

Depending on the year, there is a timer that is supposed to turn it off.
Should be an orange box behind the pass side dash.

 

[jotape650]

hmm interesting anyone elaborate on this!?

I had the same problem a few months ago. I walked out from work one dark evening and my interior lights were on :WTF . Found out the timer switch was out (of course after I went through ever switch and fuse in the vert) :crazy: . The timer is located under the glove box. You'll have to remove the air conditioning hose, take out your front saet so you can manuver as well. It's a small orange box, it's really inexpensive and should take about an hour or so :thumbsup: .

Wouldn't know man, but if it can get from 'over there' to Belgium in 4 days with UPS I'm sure it wouldn't take to long for a lil piece of plastic to get to you :thumbsup: (never had any probs with large shipments from either Ecklers or Zip so far)

a direct short somewhere? maybe in the door switch wiring. since you already replaced the light sw,might ck the wiring there too.

 

[jotape650]

yea om guesssin it has to be that; that is just gonna be interestin to find or wat not. only dam electrical bug on my car

 

[big2bird]

I gotta ask. You don't have the light switch turned all the way to the left, do you?

 

[jotape650]

lmfao no sir and i chaged that switch thinkin it was messsed up also:nuts:

Well then, you have a wire grounded. Check at switches, and lamp holders.

 

[jotape650]

that harness goes from the switches behind the dash to the fuse block?

I had that problem on my '79 and traced the problem to the rheostat on the light switch. They must start crumbling with age. It's been a while but I kind of remember that it was mounted on the rear of the switch but I don't remember if it was included with the switch.

 

[jotape650]

im almost positive it is because it is one whole assembly and the harness plugs into it
