[V8] Interior light fader

[Roger M. Woodbury]

Tom:  More than a year ago I found the rubber bonnet on my door switch was torn, so I replaced it.

When the door opens, the buzzer sounds until it is closed, regardless of whether or not a key is in the ignition.  Obviously someone was in the ignition switch somewhere before I bought the car.  Anyway, the buzzer works when the door is opened, and closes if you push the switch in with a finger, so it appears to me the issue is the relay that controls the fader.  All lights work normally, just not when the doors open.  I’ll check the relay and thanks for the direction.

Re:  My radio:  I have pulled the radio head unit and assumed there would be an inline fuse, but none found.  I’ll pull the head unit again today (now that it has finally stopped raining), and see if the relay is stuck way back in there someplace.  I hope a fuse is all it is.

My transmission works fine....last time in the shop I had the wrench use his gizzie (expensive) special flushing machine to flush the fluid....My V8’s gonna last forever and then I will be buried in it at sea.
