[DML] Re: Drivers Side "Marker Lights"

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Also remember: this is a DeLorean -- switches control the ground AFTER
the lamps. Aren't much of a switch either -- just two pieces of metal
rubbing together that fall apart if you merely loosen the mounting screws.

Page M:18:12 of the Workshop Manual documents the circuit. My copy is
missing component identification numbers, but the symbols are pretty
self explanatory.

Check for voltage at one of the door light sockets using an ice pick
light. If it's there, jump the purple with stripe (blue?) switch line
to a known good ground and they should come on. If there's no voltage
at the socket, check Fuse #12. If it's good, the problem is probably
at the diodes near the accelerator pedal (are three bundled together,
resting on the center spine).
