This interior lamp issue has me at a loss...
My "new" 1992 SC400 has an odd issue I cannot resolve. When the doors (either or both) open I have puddle lights but no dome light or floor lighting. I have thoroughly checked and tested the lamps and fuses, all work and are good. I know the switch in the door lock works, the puddle lamps only come on when the door is opened along with the "door ajar" light on the instrument panel. There is power getting to the dome lamp, it comes on when the switch is moved to the "on" position but not when in the "door" position.
The previous owner installed some nice Boston Acoustics speakers in the doors and I'm wondering if the trigger wires for the dome lamp were damaged, but I cannot believe it happened in both doors! This is the only electrical issue the car has and it's bugging me silly! Before I go tearing into the doors I'm hoping there is some simple "SC" fix that I'm unaware of, anybody? Thanks, and I did some searching as well...

Very interested in your findings Shane. I noticed that both my foot well lights and dome light are not coming on in my car too. I plan to take a look this weekend. Thanks for sharing any info you find.
