courtesy lights
When I open the door on my 96, neither the courtesy lights down low or the lights on the mirror come on. The lights on the mirror can be switched on with the switch on the mirror. Is ther some way that is negating courtesy lights coming on?

RE: courtesy lights
Not sure there, emd, but I'd unscrew the contact button in the door jamb, andput a multimeter on it for 12V.
If you got voltage there, thenthe switch is bad or it has dirt in the contact. UNLESS, there's a second wire at the switch for a remote ground. In that case, see if it will carry current. If not, there's the problem. |

Switch can't be at fault because the two lights behind the seats come on when the door is opened.

What do you get if you turn on the main interior light switch???

RE: courtesy lights
Only the cargo area lights come on

RE: courtesy lights
So your courtesy lamps don't come on under ANY circumstances?

RE: courtesy lights
CWB probably has much better and more thorough information than I do but just trying to help. So here goes...how about the two on the bottom of the mirror? Will the door lights come on at their indigenous switches. Ifneither door comes on but the rest do, it seems as though either both lights blew at the same time(possible but not probable) or a short/break in the wiring, perhaps right at the switch. Trace the wires back from the two doors and look for a bare spot. Good place is at the hinge point and any where it goes through a body panel. good luck with it. Cheers.

The courtesy lights don't come on under any circumstances. The lights on the mirror don't come on when the door is opened. They only come on with ignition on and you flip switch on the mirror.
