This link has a good article on the interior light delay, which usually is the cause of courtesy light problems. Go to the technical section, then the interior light link. I had problems with mine in my 1981. I connected the two white wires together and took out the timer (mine is behind the glove box, like the like shows.) Now the interior lights jsut work off of the door switches without any delay, but at least they work. Make sure your door swithes are grounded good and that they are working correctly, or the lights will not work period. Anyway, this link should help, if your 82 is similar to an 80.
