Maintenance / 67 camaro dome lights not working
« on: February 18, 2009, 01:56:43 AM »
67 camaro std coupe dome lights use to work but no longer do has been a couple years since they have been on after 2 deployments to Iraq etc, its probally been about 5 years since i have seen them on.
Anyways i did the obvious 1st bought new bulbs still doesnt work
Bought new door jamb switches, doesnt work
Ok, i now used a test light, when checking the wires to the back of the light fixtured as there are 2 in the car both have power when disconnecting the door jamb switch and checking the wire that plugs into the door jamb switch the wire the test light doesnt light up,
my question at this point is do the wires that connect to the door jamb switch are they suppose to be continuously hot at all times and the door switch acts as a ciccuit breaker? next question is if the dome fixtures are hott and the lights still arent coming on, what could be the problem, the socket pigtails themselves?
I have thought about the socket pigtails but both sides dont work, any suggestions?
