Default Interior lights groundpoint?
Does someone know where this point is located?

I got my courtsey lights work when I open the driver door, but not when I open the passengerdoor, and turning the lightswitch to the left. I know the passengerdoor switch is working.

thanks

I had the same issue and the passenger side switch was at fault, if you open the door and press the switch a few times do the lights come on?

Can you see it or is it taped in to the harness?

If you stand on your head and look up it is a screw into metal and few ground wires on it. Hard to see but its there. Wire runs from there to dash as well

I think I know where that screw is, but no white wires are attached there....there must be 2 splices, otherwise the passenger courtesy light shouldnt work when I open the driverdoor
