Post by: Selseybill on 19 September 2009, 16:36:20

Anyone know how i can wire my rear interior light to the front one so when i pull the switch out all interior lights will come on.At the moment the rear one's only come on when the rear doors are open or you turn them on with the little built in switch

The wires must go to the fuse box somewhere so i could fit a separate switch on the dash for them

Compare to a Senator then. All 7 of the interior lights came on in those, and it was very easy to flatten the battery if you had a big-ish job involving the driver's door open.  :(
Besides, why would you need to illuminate the rear of the car when you get in the front?  :-/  :y  :y

The reason is because the cars is use as a taxi and at night the punters can't find their money as it's too dark in the back and sometimes i like to see what their up too.
There must be away i can trace the wire's and fit a switch

Bill how about running a wire from each door switch back to a small line of switches? Just run a common to earth for each switch then to each door switch, You can control each of them individually then ;)

do you know it the wires run under the roof lining or run along the edges and down the door pillars.i don't fancy removing the headlining as this looks like a big job
