Default Interior light timer

My timer has gone bad.

$80 plus shipping for a 30 second time delay is expensive.
By passing the timer and turning the lights on if you want them sounds like it would make sense.

Has anyone come up with a bypass solution ?

thx

I'm not sure what timer you're getting but my dealyed access bus relay went bad and I changed it with a new one that I got at Advanced Auto for 8 bucks.

You can turn them on with the Main Light switch and then the latch switch will work also. Look in the FSM to bypass it if you want to do that. I am presently waiting for that $80 delivery.

Use the advanced search engine. There are threads on bypass and repair.

You should replace or repair the Courtesy Light Delay Module. You can get a Corvette Delay Timer on eBay for about $50 - $60 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Corve...spagenameZWDVW

Or, you can send yours out for repair for about $25 bucks.
