Psych0matt Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 are you sure you don't have the dimmer clicked to "on"? my ex's family's car was like this, so they pulled the bulbs for almost two years, until I pointed it out when she told me that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hell_raiser Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 soo if one wanted to remove auto lights what wires would one cut lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 The door trigger is tied into the domelight on these vehicle's, which all is through the headlight switch. So obviously if you pull the headlight switch, none of the stuff will work. You need to rule out that it's not a faulty door trigger, or a bad ground. Headlight switches are cheap as well.

hell_raiser Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 ok thank's they do shut off after like 5 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 What year car? I'd have to consult my wiring diagrams, but I think if pulling the headlight switch shuts them off, there must be a short in the switch. You might be able to pop the switch apart and fix the short if you're so inclined. Otherwise, the switch probably needs replacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regal_GS_1989 Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I has the lights come on in my regal before, and it turned out to be a faulty switch. If i'd slam the slider back and fourth a few times they would turn off, but then sometimes they would come back on. I replaced the switch and never had an issue again.

rockfangd Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 if you unplug the headlight switch everything will go out. the door triggers are more common togoing bad than a headlight switch but both are possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
