Interior Light Question
1994 - Completely Stock.
Currently doing a current draw study and had a question regarding the interior lights. There probably isn't a problem but I am not certain what the normal function should be.
Sometimes when I close the door, the interior lights go right out, sometimes they'll stay on for 30 seconds before going out. I've seen this behavior on other vehicles but wasn't sure what the norm is for this vehicle.
I didn't find any issues in the past 2 weeks other than:
1. Headlight motor issue requiring the upgraded bushing kit (Will run a click a few times when turned off)
2. Center console glove box light erratic, looks like a bad switch. (Light will come on and flicker when the console is smacked on or the door is slightly opened.
Appreciate your feedback.
Current draw when everything is off and locked .016A which is well below the .050 threshold.

For the console glove box light, remove the light, clean and tighten the connections. Seems like a loose connection by the symptoms.

My 1996 has a light sensor that determines if the interior lights come on. In daylight when I open the door they wont come on, but at night they do. If you have an owners manual look there.
Dorman 74410 bushings on Amazon $9 (pack of 3) will work on the headlights. More than likely your gears are fine.
