Does anyone know the wiring for the overhead map light ?and dome light too. If you can draw it,,cool also the colour of the wires/stripes and where they go.
That would help big time.

 

I have a PDF with the wiring diagram I got from www.iluvmyrx7.com. It helped me trying to fix my problem...If I knew how to post just parts or just one page, I would do that, but I dont know how.

That brings up another dumb question of mine....my light doesn't go on when I open the door. I know the light works because I can turn it on, but opening the door with the switch set to door it won't go on....assuming the guy who had it before I did disconnected something somehwere and I'm too stupid to know where it'd be, so I'm asking ...what do I need to do..and where is this stupid wire that might be causing my problems.

 

prolly the switch is dirty. Its the button switch at the back of the door jamb.

 

yea its probably dirty cause mine somtimes won't go on unless i tap the switch.

 

Mine were dirty on my 85. So I took them out, cleaned them, put them back in, and everything is good.

On the 83, the dumbass before me managed to strip out all four screws (both sets of two) so sometimes when you open it, the screws have worked too loose to do anything and you have to tighten them by hand, lol. Thats one of the next things to do...Get larger screws .
