Re: [doc] Interior lights no-op, SORTED

Thanks Richard!!!
Yep, that was exactly it, all working hunky dory with a 15 sec delay.
Headliners have been replaced. The rear light was also wired up wrong 
and that doesn't come out to change the headliners, so why that was 
wrong as well is a mystery. Anyway, as usual, the best place to check 
first is the forum!
Thanks for the help all!
