Courtesy light delay feature 79 question
back story I’ve previously fried a tach, and have never really found the issue for erratic tach sometimes with ignition on etc..
i also had great help here checking grounds cranking etc thread to no smoking gun..
so to my question..
my courtesy light works fine including the spare tire area..
also works on and off with headlight switch..
but it has no delay (which i never knew til today) and then obviously no shut off with ignition on..
it never did since i had it. Reading threads its like its bypassed..it is not..looks original.
i also replaced the dome light with led as i never liked how hot those get...worked fine once I installed correct direction..but here’s something weird..when i click off key the ignition from running or not..the led flashes for just a very brief split second.
with regular bulb it does not...
i dont see anything but wondered after reading all the threads that it could fail like its bypassed? Anything to measure? I have a dmm..
