The wiring diagram in the Haynes Manual does not match what I have coming out the door. I also checked Jeff Bowlsby's site.
Which wires go where:  |

I have a spare switch that I checked with an ohm meter. I also only had continuity on one "pair" of contacts. I think my switch is bad. It's basically two separate switches in the same housing. ( Called a momentary contact double pole, single throw switch.)
I would insulate the red wires and just try to get the interior light ground circuit working through the good contacts. If you touch the brown wires together, does the dome light work? You said that one set of red wires has power and the other doesn't. That is correct. One side is supposed to have power, go through the switch, and then to the buzzer, so the other red wires shouldn't have power. The left and right switches are wired in parallel so either switch completes the circuit. |
