interior lights problem



Hey all,

I'm having issues with my interior lights. when i first bought the car, the 
lights didn't work correctly and the rear light was broken. i bought the new 
glass lights from Houston way back then and that fixed the rear light so it 
would work in the 'always on' position but neither the front nor rear lights 
have worked correctly ever. until today, the front light has only worked in 
the 'always' position, and the rear light has worked in both positions, 
however ONLY for the passenger side door! hmm! Today i attempted to fix the 
situation so i pulled both lights out and checked the wiring. the wires 
weren't correct according to the shop manual. so i switched them around and 
now the lights are wired correctly. however they only work in the 'always' 
position! i cannot get either light to operate when the doors are open with 
the delay position. 

since the rear light used to work with the delay on the pass. side only, i 
therefore assume that my delay module is functioning. AND, since my door 
lights work on both doors, and they shut off when i press the door switch, 
that means that my switches are good. 

one question on the door switches - should the ground wire be connected to 
the outside part of the switch and the colored wire be connected to the tab 
that moves with the switch? i assume so.

where do i go from here????

Thanks!
Andy
