Re: Interior light relay V8 Quattro

["Peter Plangger" <pepe@z.zgs.de>]

Do the lights _ever_ shut off when in normal mode? If not, a door
switch might be shorted to chassis ground. Take one of the switches
out (not the driver's) and measure resistance to ground with all the
other doors closed.
Also, maybe the rod of one of the switches is broken.
