My Interior light works fine in the always ON position, but my door switches are not operating the light when you open the doors. There is no continuity between the interior light and the gray/brown wires at the door switches. Does anyone know the path of the wiring from the interior light to the door switches? The wire at the interior light is brown with gray paint on it. The wires at the door switches are gray with brown paint on them. There must be someplace where they connect?

The grey/brown wires at the door switches are for the key-still-in-the-igniton-switch-with-the-door-open buzzer. They aren't connected to any of the wires at the interior light, so it's not surprising that your ohmeter can't find a connection. It's the brown/grey wire and the brown wires that are involved with the interior light. With either door open, they should all be connected to both the brown/grey wire at the light and to ground. The difference between brown/grey and grey/brown wires is that the first color is that of the basic wire (the background color) and the second color is that of the tracer, but you probably knew that.
