For 1984 Wag.....ok courtesy lights work with all door sensors, with the cargo switch and the light switch turned on. all door sensors have been tested and isolated to rule them out as a problem. the problem is that the over head lights have constant power to both wires on each unit when all doors are closed and all switches off. when you either open a door, or switch the lights on, both wires lose all power. another point to note is when the doors are closed and switches are off the map lights will work only one at a time.( not both at the same time, or they will both shut off) when you open the door those maps lights go out and then the filament in the overhead lights turns faint red. so it so it is like somrwhere there is backfeed or else there is some type of cross over...I am Extremely exprienced with 12v ground side switching but this crazy, it doesnt even make sense
As i understand this system there is one constant wire (brown) that is hot going to the over head light, and there is the ground wire (black). the power is always on so that the constant lights, ie: map lights and vanity light will take the 12v thru thier respective switches and then ground out to the body, where are the over headlight used the 12v thru it then the ground is attained by either opening the door, switching the cargo switch, or switching the interior lights on this ground is conected thru the black wire back to those switching devices.... so someone tell me why the heat is in both wires????
