Hello Pat, With regard to the AC panel lights, the best fix is to put in LEDs which come in bulbs of the right size and type base, run on 12 volts and are a little less bright, and do not consume as much power and thus, do not create a much heat. I, and many other DMC owners have even replaced many other lamps around the car with LEDs...making life easier on switches (switching less current), wiring and batteries. Putting LEDS in the courtesy lamps and door lamp sockets will easily allow you to leave a door open for hours without having an impact on the battery charge. Contact me off line for a source and possible types, etc. Al Al Roberts twodelo2@xxxxxxxxxxxxx #4639/#16049 ------------------------------------ To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnewsYahoo!
