Re: [DML] Door Light Diodes

[JDub <doki_pen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sure, it would be my pleasure.

I think I got pretty lucky actually because I didn't
have to take the door apart to find the problem.  I
Took out the three lights from the door and used a
tiny LED flashlight to peek around inside.  Right
behind the middle light the ground wire was pinched
under the bolt right there.  Also luckily there was
enough extra slack in the wire that I was able to pull
both sides of the wire that was pinched in there and
clip them and then make the proper repair in the wire.
 There is still a tiny bit of wire pinched under the
bolt, but it doesn't matter cuz I clipped both sides
of it.  I don't know if yours is pinched in the same
place, but taking the lights out and peeking in there
is a heck of alot easier than taking the door apart.
