'89 Sub - interior lights won't turn off with the door closed! Help

[Ralph89Sub]

Does anyone have an interior wiring diagram with a overhead stock console?
The lights won't turn off I replaced all 4 door pins/light switch. I can't figure which direction the wires go to check the grounds an connects. Any ideas would help.

Thanks ahead of time

Is it turned on with the light switch?
Rotate the knob clockwise to turn it off, then if you turn it farther, it dims the dash lights.
I believe that you also have a door switch for the back, even if you have a tailgate.

Tried that still on. I really don't want to replace the headlight switch until I Check the wires.
Thank you for the idea.

I would doubt that the switch is bad, I would wonder if there is one of the wires rubbed and shorted to the body somewhere. In case you don't know, all of the switches ground the lights to turn on.
I would look under the door sill plates to see if a screw shorted the wire to the body.

Probably one of the door jamb switches either failed or the wires to them are touching ground..

Is the tailgate switch part of that circuit ?

I believe so...

Thanks. I'll have to check those out tomorrow. At least I have a place to start.

Let's break some ground on this. I would start pulling your door jamb switches to make sure the ground wires are still connected. If those wires have come loose or have fallen off (i've seen it happen) and are now touching sheet metal, your lights will stay on.

I will work on that tonight. Thank you.
