Which switch does what?
I'm trying to reinstate the interior lights and door ajar indication system and need to know which door switch is supposed to operate which system.
Looking at the drawings I've got it looks like the ones at the back only operate the door ajar light on the dash and the ones near the hinges operate the interior lights, with an additional wire on the drivers side for the key buzzer.
The wires to all the door switches have been cut so I've got quite a bit of re wiring to do by the look of it!!
Thanks
Graham

All of those switches complete the electrical GROUNDING for those circuits. As with most circuits in a [plastic] Corvette, the power line is connected to the component and the switches make the ground. But, when connected (or shorted to ground) they still have the current going to the component flowing through them. ALWAYS remove one of the battery terminals before working on anything electrical.
