Re: door lights

Before you tear into the wiring harness to check diodes make sure that 
the wires to the door switches aren't pinched and are securely 
connected to functioning door switches. Check both sides and make sure 
the wires on the driver's side are so that the door buzzer switch and 
the light switch aren't crossed, it is easy to accidently stick the 
wrong wire onto the wrong switch, some owners to keep the lights off 
when the doors are open pull a wire off of the door switch and strange 
things happen when crossed. It is not impossible to have a bad diode 
but it is unlikely. Refer to Workshop Manual M:18:12.
