Dont know how to do what I want interior lights?
I have a ucf20 I have replaced every interior bulb with quality Bright led's. What the problem is when I open the door only the dome light comes on normal I know. I want to open my door and have all the map lights and dome light come on front and rear. Can this been done?
I searched lots and found nothing.
Thank you for any help.

Can be done, you'll have to jumper those to the wiring with the courtesy light harness. You will lose the map light function unless you use a relay so that they are dual purpose.
If you are motivated, you'll be the first one here to have done it. Take notes and pictures for us and I'll put it in the FAQ. Others may want to do this as well.

After tracking down a Diag of the multiplex communication system I think I know how to do this.
I have some testing to do but all the lights are grounded from 3 different ecu's. The body ecu, driver door ecu and front passenger door ecu. Both rear courtesy lights get there ground from the body ecu that is what turns the light on since all lights have a constant power from the dome light fuse. I want to try and jumper all the grounds together so when one gets ground it grounds the other three also. I just don't know what this will do to the ecu if it will like seeing a ground to wire that its not giving grounds to.
