94 convertible interior lights wont turn off

[rossg]

As the title says my interior lights wont shut off. I have pulled the door pins changed the headlight switch with a used 1. Is there something I am missing is there a timer module somewhere? can anyone help with this?

is the wheel on the headlight switch in the on position?

It would still shut itself off after awhile if it was just that.

no? Not if the interior lights were turned on

my 94 shuts off no matter what, Except the maplights for some reason if those are left on they drain the battery

I have everything taken out of the car light switch removed door pins removed lights still on the only turn off when I pull the fuses. the big problem is the car is for sale and I cant sell it if the lights dont go out.

open up the center console by removing the lid and box of the cubby... and unplug the wiring harness within it. result????

its funny i had this happen to me on the way home from tenn. a year ago i just pulled the fuse, i thought it was the switch but if you say you changed it then i will have to find the other reason maybe a short or something.

I see where you are going with this so I followed your suggestion. I unpluged the harness in question no change I then unpluged the overhead light the lights went out. I then put the headlight switch back in lights were still out then I put the door pins back in lights came on but turned off when the door shut. I removed the 4 bulbs from the over head light and pluged it in no lights put the bulbs in 1 at a time and I discovered 1 of the bulbs had a short that was making the lights come on.

there you go strange but true i have been trying to figure this out for a month. Thanks for the suggestions

so a short in the roll bar light huh??

[Crazy K]

indeed! but only one bulb? it sounds like you need new switches for the light, Jmezz may have some....

yeah i got the switches already from jmezz a while back but i talking to redgtp right now bout converting to leds. we may have a trade in the making

Hmm...If my '94 hadn't been the biggest pile I'd ever owned, I definitely would have tinted the windows.

switches are not part of the eqation i by passed the switch wireing along time ago they are just for show now. ya its pretty weird i did move the wires around perhaps something was grounding out. Don't know I hope this fixes it until it is sold at least.
