interior light circuit board, timer
OK, I found the small box on the door pillar and replaced the circuit board and was excited to see the dome light and floor light go on! Happiness was short lived however. . .I depressed the passenger side door jamb switch and the lights went off, NEVER TO COME BACK ON AGAIN! I pulled the 20 amp fuse, not blown, put it back in and nothing. Pulled the fuse again and put a brand new 20 amp in, nothing? Anyone have similar problems, or, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try removing the box with your new circuit board, and then jumper the two white wires on the connector together with a piece of wire/paperclip etc. This will allow you to essentially bypass the dimmer function and see if your interior lights come on and go off when you open and close the door. If they work fine under this condition then the problem must be on your circuit board.

Thanks, Im gonna give it a try tomorrow. I just cant figure out why it came on, then when I pushed in the door jamb switch it never came back on. Sorta like coming home and finding your wife in the kitchen cooking a hot meal and then telling you her parents are coming over, you cant have any!

I tried it this evening, jumped from one white to the other and after a small spark, the glove box light went out! I have not the time or patience to climb my rather large posterior under the steering wheel this evening to pull fuses.
Cant figure out how I did something to the glove box light/fuse when the relay for the courtesy light is on a different fuse. Any and all help with this matter will keep me from beatin the dog and kickin the wife.
