Dome light switch

[JohnC]

Hi All,

I have few questions on this switch. I saw the description in the owners manual but its a little vague. When you open the door, does the dome light and the courtesy lights come on? Is the light switch in the center position for this use? Once the door is closed then moving the switch down for courtesy light and up for dome light to work? These lights will work with the car off? Any finally...I don't have this switch so I will take any aftermarket one for now if anyone has installed one that looks pretty good.

Thanks again all

If I remember correctly it’s a specialty switch, maybe 3-pole. You should be able to tell by the wiring diagram. They are likely available. The dome light has is own switch. If I remember correctly the power runs there first through the harness on the driver’s side.

Awesome.....thats what I needed....what do you think my chances are of finding the actual switch or am I going to have to go aftermarket?

Try Mark II enterprises as they have also wrecked quite a few Mark II, regards Graham

I read through all these posts a bunch of times...great info....so to be clear...when the switch under the dash is in the center position and the slider all the way left and you open the door the dome light and courtesy light should come on. The switch on the dash basically works the dome light (up) and courtesy light (down) once the door is closed. Is that right?

Interior light can be switch off with slider in middle position
