well I am having a problem that I think might have something to do with a relay i was curious at to whcih relay was responsible for the interior lights.

any help on this matter would be great thanks.

 

What problem are you having?

 

basically my driver side courtesy light is not coming on even though there is a new bulb in there, yet the passanger side light comes on as does the dome light when the any door is open. I spliced into the ground wire on the driver side and connected a ground wire to a bolt inside teh door the light lit up yet it would nto shut off when i closed the door

 

bump.......

 

The fuse should be okay since the other door light is working correctly. But, if you didn't already check it then I would suggest checking it. Could be a beat-up BCM like in my piece. I don't know what fuse it is. Just check on the fuse door by your left knee.

 

bcm i am not sure what you are talking about could you be more specific

 

The BCM is the body control module. I think it is located in the center console under the radio. (correct me if i am wrong.) There also is a BCM relay in the trunk near the latch. You access this relay when doing the "alarm beep mod."

 

Yup, and mine isn't working the way it should. ~$900.00 part from the dealer... But I'm not saying yours is bad.

 

umm do you know were i can get a pick of this ?

 

No I don't know where. I think there is a self-diagnostic mode you can do to see what up. It's in the FSM...

 

Oh where's this "Bangledsh, CT"?

 

hahah it is a joke i live in shelton

 

HAHA I knew it was a joke. How's life treatin' you down there? Welcome to the "My Interior Lights Don't Work Club". I need to buy a $900 BCM to fix my interior problem. Oh, I'll snap a picture for you tomorrow. I'll be installing and amp and need to get behind the CD Player...

 

ehh shelton blows i think i met you at a ct meet. what is wrong with your int lights?

 

Did you? Refresh my memory...

I played basketball with a kid from Shelton (I think) a few years back. He was nasty.

I tried making my key ring light blue by putting an LED in there. The negative and positive touched when I stuck the LED prongs in there and I shorted something out. Dealership said it was the BCM. So my keyring light doesn't work at all and my dome light doesn't turn on when I open my doors...

 

hum **** I hope I did not so the same ****. its possible to get a bcm from teh junyyard right?

 

i screwed up w/ the keyring plenty of times but eventually got it. as for the door courtesy, i short-circuited both of em so i found an alternative route to power them.

 

jeez, is that just to fix ur interior lights? man u can buy a lot of stuff for $900.

 

do you mind sharing nismo on this alternative pwering i would apreciate it

 

well since i blew both of my courtesy lights tiring to wire up some leds, i connected the driver side to the passenger side and from the passenger side up to the dome light wires.

 

so you have wires runnign to your roof of your dome light?

 

Interesting.. I'm having the same problem as sterling.

I went to change the bulb in the driver side door last week and it suddenly stopped working altogether.
passenger side door and dome still work. very weird..

I checked the driver side door connections with a multimeter and got about 9v. Apparently not enough to light the bulb.

The passenger side reads about 13.5v

Still looking for the cause / solution for this..

 

yes, it was a lot of work but i hid all the wires. driver side to the passenger, and from the passenger under the door sill, up the seat belt, under the roof carpeting to the dome wires. did all this so it would function normally.
