Dome (and trunk) light power source?

I'm trying to get my dome & trunk lights to work on my 85.1 944. The lights test good, but I don't seem to be getting power.

The door switches are corroded, too, but my first problem is getting 12v to the lights.

I checked out wiring diagrams in the Haynes manual, but am still unclear where to find the wire to trace back to it's source.

Anyone know where the power comes from for the interior lights?

Thanks,
Tom

fuse 7 to the lights, then grounded through the door switch and the rear hatch switch.

It's all there in the diagram (section III and IV)

Circling back on this: it ended up being the fuse, which was the first thing I checked. Well, the fuse was fine, but just enough corroded to prevent good contact. Cleaned it a bit, now everthing works... even the 35 year old clock!

Thanks again, George- those wiring diagrams are much better than the ones in my Haynes manual.
