rear cargo light? and others...

[Marty Hadden]

While we're on the subject of lights and doors... My Avant gate does not 
trigger the light, either... when I bought it, I thought that it should've , 
though... strange, it doesn't.

Another question... My 87.5 would trigger all doors' lights, when one door 
was opened... the 86 Avant only triggers the dome and floor lights in the 
front, but no other door lights.  Was this something new on the 87s, or is 
my 86 just messed up?

I am also now thinking that you could run some wire from the front dome 
light back into the cargo light, to have it operate the same as the front, 
but it still wouldn't solve the liftgate-up problem...
