Default interior lights time delay relay

Does anyone remember seeing a procedure to bypass the time delay relay. Mine is shot, and I'd like to get the interior lights back on.

Save your lunch money and buy a new delay module. The door switches trigger the delay module and you cannot directly bypass the delay module.

Where do you buy a new relay? Either way is OK with me. But I cannot find one.

Default What I did

This worked on my 85. Pull the timer module out and connect the two white wires in the plug with a short jumper wire shoved into the plug. I'd post a picture if I knew how but I'm too old to learn. The jumper restored my interior lights and the hatch switches on the doors. No delay though.
