fMix. I'm up for awhile it's 1:00. However, my wife got me a new phone tonight so I'm not sure I can work it. But a picture is worth a million words. If I can't figure it out She can do it out in the morning. If I remember the wiring it runs up the B post on the left...maybe. Text them anytime as the phone is in the other room hooked into the computer. ohh 509-230-6057
Thanks

Let me know when a good time to text you is. I don't want to wake you. Or if anyone knows how to easily load pictures direct from an Android I will load to here. I have tried before but failed, I've had to bring them in to work and load to photobucket, then link them.

Any used these or the plastic version to replace an earlier version circa 1965? They were simple push round switches.

The wiring is very simple - each switch has one wire, from the courtesy light. When the door is shut, it holds the core of the switch in, keeping the circuit open. When you open the door, the switch extends, closing the circuit and grounding the lamp. Living in the door post, the switch eventually corrodes or gets enough dirt to no longer make proper contact.

those are regular courtesy light switches that mount to the door jamb
the late model ones are mostly resin, the early ones were metal

I am sorry about that my friend. It just struck me because my late father whom of which hated doing tedious anything with computers. He was able to not only post on here but on a certain Moke MB that I have tried and tried and haven't been able to figure out. E-mail to me [email protected] and will be happy to take care of it for you. Stay strong my friend.

No, I haven't even tried that...I have had a stroke...that supposedly I am recovering from. Dan gave me instructions that I couldn't follow at all...I do have a couple other ideas...I think, and remember I (or someone likewise seated) could be on the road behind you. Cheers
