When the map light switch is off (pulled towards the driver in my case), the map and dome light stay off when the doors are either open or closed.
When the map light switch is on and the doors are open, the map light and dome light both stay off, and the dimmer knob has no effect at this stage. But when the doors are closed with the ML switch still on, the map light and dome light will both turn on, but with brightness inverse to each other. As the dimmer knob turns counterclockwise, the dome light will dim and the map light will brighten, and the dome light then shuts off completely after the dimmer switch is turned completely to the left. What does this mean?
I have the yellow wire from the ML switch connecting to the yellow-black wire on the time delay relay, to the yellow from the right & left door switches, the dimmer switch, and to the yellow on the dome lamp. The pink wire from the ML switch is plugged into the red candelabra.
The ignition switch light works fine with the time delay relay. The dash lights, ash tray light, and console light all dim as they should with the dimmer switch.
This damn map/dome light thing is the last electrical problem for my restoration. Please help! Thanks.
