Dome Lamp: Description and Operation

The dome lamp is located in the center of the windshield header (2-Door Models) or in the center of the roof between the front seats (4-Door Models). It consists of a clear lens, the dome lamp bulb and a three position slide switch. The slide switch has three detent positions: OFF, door and ON.

When the switch is in the OFF position, the dome lamp will not light, regardless of either door jamb switch's state (open or closed). With the dome lamp switch in the door position, the lamp will light when either front door is open (either door jamb switch is closed). The lamp will remain on until the door is closed (the door jamb switch is opened). When the dome lamp switch is in the ON position, the dome lamp will light, regardless of either door jamb switch's state (open or closed).
