hi,

as i know there are 5 interior lights in my 78 GP .. two under dash lights , two on rear pillars and one under the roof.

those two lights under the dash works fine when doors are open but those lights on rear pillar or roof works dosen't work ...

Is there supposed to be a question? Start by checking the bulbs...

Get out the multimeter and check for current. They should have a direct 12v all the time and the courtesy light switch and door swith are just ground switches. If you don't have current then do a continuity test to make sure there are no brakes in the line. I just had mine out yesterday in the 80 regal to wire in a rear view with lights out of an 03 s10. They were solid core wires. White and white with an orange stripe

thanks for replay

yes i know about courtesy light switch and door switch as how u said ... but no current after testing the orange wires with voltmeter , it could be great if i knew which way(driver or passenger side/up-down) they used to bring that orange wire for courtesy lights

The connector is down by the parking brake pedal and the wiring runs up the driver side A pillar and then under the headliner.


ok fixed , i found the connector and wire ... the orange cable from fuse box to that connector was off .

but now i don't have small front headlights + cluster lights and rear lights when i pull the lights switch :D
