Where to search for the diode? // Interior light does not light up when opening door
Hi!
I am really glad that I found this forum with nice and helpful people.
Time goes by and my winter restauration is still not done although it is already march...
I was able to get along with the restauration of the electrics on my DeLorean VIN#1550.
David Mc Keens "Dome Light Module" arrived in Germany after 3 month of shipping!!! Wow, that was "express logistics".
The installation was no problem, also if there is not much space in the relay and fuse compartment.
It works fine, but - as it already did before I installed Davids module - it is only controlled from the RH door switch.
The LH door switch works great (I know this, because it controlls the three lights in the left door the way it should) but does neither communicate with the "door ajay" warning light in the instrument cluster, nor with the "Dome Light Module".
I tried to route the appropriate wires in the wireing schematic and came to one point.
I think, one wire lost its contact to a diode what would explain the working door lights and the loss on corresondence with the "Dome Light Module".
Here is a zoom of section I/J 4/5 on the map with a red mark on the diode I am thinking of...

I would very much like to ask you if you think the same as I do or if you have any other ideas where to search for the problem.
But where to search for this diode? In the schematics it is just "there" but it could be nearly everywhere in the car. Maybe someone had the same problem before and can tell about his search...!?
Thank you very much and best wishes,
Lars :)

Photo of door plunger switch
Hi Jonathan!
I agree, the cables and diodes look the same...
Here is a photo of the door plunger switch. Maybe you can find a mistake in this harness?

I would not expect a mistake there, because the upper switch turns the three door lights on and off as it should.
But maybe they can also be connected on another way to work...!?
Thank you very much,
kind regards,
Lars. :welcome:
