Lighting problem?

[1997reduxe]

Hey all.

Recently bought a 95 2.2 wagon, i believe its the LS or LSi, forget which,

but it has driving lights. Nice car.

But, the weird thing is, the driving lights don't work, (checked fuse and its good),

and the two interior lights only work in the fully on position, they don't work

in the mid position where they turn off when doors are shut etc.

Shut doors and theyre still on.

Is there a relay or something that has to do with all these three light systems?

Thanks for any help,

Happy New Year all!

I've installed OEM driving lights on a 95 and 97 and unless there is a problem in the wiring at the gray junction box next to the kick plate on the driver's side then I'd say NO they don't seem related.

 

Have you checked the H1 bulbs in the lights themselves?

 

If they are OK then trace the wire coming though the firewall. As I recall there is one plug near the steering column and another that plugs into the relay attached to the gray box I mentioned. There are also 2 wires that as I recall are yellow and blue striped that need to be vampire clipped to 2 wires also near that gray box. If you need it I might be able to find the original wiring instructions for the lights.

 

As for your other problem, check the plunger switches in the door frames for a bad/broken switch for the dome lights.
