    Door switch for courtesy on M1008

    Door switch for courtesy on M1008

    Oh yeah.. you're right. Well I'm embarrassed; I've only looked at the diagrams 1000 times. I can't believe that I didn't realize that the headlight switch is simply grounding the courtesy circuit. Okay so all I need to do is connect the door switches to the white 156-A circuit and it will work...

    Door switch for courtesy on M1008

    The plan: Looking to use some grounding switches in the door jam to illuminate the under-dash courtesy lights and dome light. With the door switches acting as a ground for a relay, when the door(s) open the relay will close and the feed spliced in after the headlight switch will turn on the...
