[V8] interior light delay

[Steve Buchholz]

The power for the switch at the lamp is direct, completely different circuit. The module is usually pretty easy to find as it is double wide. 
Do the lights come on when you remove the key? I'd recommend making sure all the inputs are functioning before paying for a new module ...

    Nope. The interior lights work only
      with the switch at the light itself.  Neither door activates the
      interior lights.

      ... sounds to me that you should start at the switch. Does the
      light work from the passenger's side?

      I am pondering the arrival of spring. At least I think it is
      coming at 

      some point.  I started the V8 up last weekend. It's been on a
      battery 

      maintainer all winter and it came right to life, of course. I have
      

      started to make a wish list of things that I need to do to put the
      car 

      back on the road this spring, if indeed I decide to do that.  One
      thing 

      I really want to do that is a simple fix, is get the inside light
      delay 

      fixed.  It stopped working some years ago and I noticed the
      interior 

      door switch's rubber boot was torn. So I replaced that, but still
      the 

      interior light delay was inop.  What happens is the interior dome
      and 

      foot well lights do not light when the door is opened.  I suspect
      this 

      is a relay, and I think this has been discussed some years ago,
      but I 

      thought I'd ask to see if anyone on this list remembers or knows
      right 

      off the top of their head, WHICH relay controls the interior light
      delay 

      and where it is located.

      

      I am also VERY disappointed that the headliner in the rear has
      started 

      to sag a bit this winter.  It isn't serious, but it is
      disappointing as 

      up to the time I put the car into the barn for the winter, it was
      up and 

      tight.  Very annoying, but typical, I guess.  Fixing it is
      somewhat down 

      the road, I think as the sag is mostly noticable by me.

      

      I am also going to have to do the tires this spring I think. It's
      really 

      time as the Michelins that are on the car are about at the end of
      their 

      usable life.  I have NO idea what I will get for the car this
      time, but 

      I have been using Altimax's on the station wagon and have found
      them 

      pretty decent for the price. I doubt the V8 will actually see much
      more 

      than thirty five hundred miles from mid-April to December when I
      would 

      put the car back in the barn for winter.  Yet another reason why I
      am 

      pondering not keeping the car at all.  On the basis of 3500 miles
      a year 

      with seasonal use only, it's getting pretty expensive to just hold
      

      onto.  But I've said that before also.

      

      Then there are the heated seats that I would like to have working
      in a 

      perfect world and I think if I end up taking the car to the shop
      for the 

      headliner, I'll get the seats pulled apart and the heating
      elements 

      repaired. The seat heaters are mostly for my wife's back, and even
      in 

      the summer she uses them on occasion.

      

      That's near the end of the long list for this car, although a new
      

      windshield will need to be installed before it will pass
      inspection. 

      That will be an insurance issue, as the split stems from a small
      ping I 

      got going through a construction zone driving it back from the
      shop 

      after the last oil change last fall.  Tiny ping that just spread
      this 

      winter.

      

      So, if anyone knows about the dimmer relay, I'll get that done as
      soon 

      as the snow  has melted enough to roll the car out of the garage
      for a 

      sunbath.
