dome lights in 85 Carrera.

[Nick Triesch]

I have just about everything working in my 911 except the dome lights. This is what happens....They work fine in the on position when I just click them on. But when I go to the car door switch nothing happens. So I checked the wires in the light and cleaned them with contact cleaner. Also the door switches look clean and the buzzers in both doors works great. They go on and off when I push the button. Just no light. What else can I do? BTW the trunk light works fine. Nick

I pulled mine and checked for continuity. One was DOA, the other was reapirable. They are cheap from Pelican.

Careful that you don't drop the wire down into the frame.

Buzzer works O.K. when you open either door?

Check the light switch position(s).

Here's the CKT.

the light switch has 3 positions:

1. On
2. Off
3. On when the door opens
