Alright guys, I've got this 96 Silverado I just bought and the dome lights WILL NOT SHUT OFF [emoji35] [emoji35] Unless I pull the fuse.
When I got the truck the fuse was pulled and the person wired a switch in place of the fuse. So I flipped the toggle and dome lights came on. Also, the drivers door switch was gone. I went ahead and replaced both drivers and passenger jamb switches and put the fuse back in instead of the toggle switch. Now they stay on all the time. I can shut both doors and hear the "click" after a few seconds meaning that the dome lights are about to shut off but they stay on. My dome override switch also has no effect.
The truck has a remote start/alarm. It also had an old one that had the wires cut for the most part and was still under the dash. I cut it the rest of they way out and threw it away. Maybe something is wired wrong and causing the dome lights to stay on? The remote start doesn't work but the alarm and keyless entry works fine. I have used what knowledge and wiring info I have for the remote start and for the truck but cannot figure it out.
So I am wondering what I should go about checking next... I have the dash out since I replaced the heater core and evaporator and am installing a new dash. Some wiring diagrams would be great if possible, or any input. Thanks!!!
