I suspect you have a dead short in the wiring going to the interior lamp and when the wire from the door is grounded, it shorts out the circuit. Is the interior lamp connected the right way? Is the wiring to the door buzzer disconnected or shorting out?

Is the wiring to the door buzzer disconnected or shorting out? Lamp has no bulb, but it appears to be connected correctly. I've never heard the door buzzer go off so I might not have one. I'll check and report back. |
