Interior Lights go dim when door opens.
Interior Lights go dim when door opens.
When I hit they keyless remote and the interior lights come on full strenght. But as soon as I open the door the lights dim quite a bit. I noticed the other day the light was out. But when I shut the door and opened it, it came on. Any ideas? Anyone seen this one?
Does it on both front doors. I noticed the light in the rear comes on when I open the doors. Maybe it is a load condition on the battery, but the front light goes dim and it is not as bright as the rear light. Just strange is all, that the light would not work, maybe a short somewhere in the circuit. Tracing down electrical is no fun at all. Could be a pinched wire somewhere.
actually the ground on the door switch goes to the entrance control unit to indicate the door is open. The entrance control module grounds the light. Even if it was directly through the door you already said more then one door had the same effect. Doubt the ground would be bad in more then one door if that were how the system worked. Do you have a service manual on your car? If you do look at the wiring diag for the dome lamp system and see if you can locate the grounds for that circuit. If you find them go to them ,loosen and resecure them and recheck the system.
