1980 Interior lights and door locks
Looking for some insight into possible issue with our 1980.
Checked door, hood and t-top switches and they seem to be opening and closing correctly but lights stay on constantly.
Also cannot get the power door locks to work. There is power to the switches and out of the switches but no power at the actuators.
Not sure if they are related.
Could this all be related to the anti theft system?
Any other insight or ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks for the help.
We were tracing the wires and found the interior light timer control relay of some sort to be hot as hell. Pulled it and the interior lights went out.
They work from the headlight switch as they should but just dont come on when the door is open.
Small victory for today.

The timer is to the right of the glove box behind the dash. Sorry I dont have a fuse box diagram on my computer. They have been posted before so I'm sure you can find one by doing a search.

I found this link helpful for some general guidance but know that it is for a 78.
