Re: [DML] Re: interior lamps won't turn off

[Gabriel Capen Chrisman <gabeman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have this same issue - does anyone know of a way to make the 'door open' light position work with LEDs?  I don't care about the delay function, but at least getting the lights to turn on when the doors are open and turn off when they close...

Thanks,
