Map light fix?

Seems pretty unbelieveable that the whole overhead would have to be replaced for a tiny light switch. I sure don't want to take mine down but there are a few screws in some of the compartments up there. I'd feel better practicing on/exploring a junkyard piece. That's what I'd do.Now the rest of the electronics up there is a different matter.Let us know how you make out. Take pictures!

Welcome to the family. As for the roof clearance lights I would careful remove each one and re-seal them with silicone. Then I would consider carefully romoving the console and double checking all the wiring to the bulbs and switches for corrded/rusted connections. The over headlighting has a constant +12V so all thats needed is the ground. So if there has be water getting in it might have a partial ground causing the glow.Pink wire should be +12V and the yellow wire is the ground trigger back to the headlight switch or door pins switches... (Pretty sure of my colors from memory... :rolleyes:)
