Default Interior Light "Gremlins"

Okay, I got most of my interior lights working in the dash and below the instrument panel. Everything is wired the way it's supposed to be according to the Vette wiring diagram I have. But, not all the lights are working (yep, I've checked the bulbs and the wire )....so, any ideas on how / what I should check for????

Thanks!

Are you referring to the dome light and the lights that shine into the foot well when the door is opened?

Check the grounding. Run a seperate wire to the bracket or housing or whatever if necessary.

A couple of the gauge lights and the passenger-side foot-well light.

I started by using a bit of sandpaper to polish the brass contacts in the sockets. This took care of about 75% of the ones that didn't work. I replaced the contacts in the other 25% so all of them work now.
