door ajar switches


The dome lamp receives power from the 10 amp micro fuse located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) on the M1 circuit. This circuit is HOT at all times. The ground path for the lamp is provided in two different ways.
One way is through the door ajar switches. Circuit M2 connects to all the door ajar switches from the dome lamp. The switches are case-grounded to the body. When a door is opened, the plunger in the switch closes, completing a path to ground.
The second ground path is through the headlamp switch. Circuit M2 is spliced in with the door ajar switches. When the operator turns the headlamp switch to the dome lamp ON position, a ground path is provided through the switch on the Z1 circuit. This ground terminates at the instrument panel left center support.
The time delay relay is used to allow a time-ON function for the ignition switch lamp. Power for the relay is received on the M1 circuit from the 10 amp fuse located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC ).
When a door is opened, or the headlamp switch is moved to the dome lamp position, a ground path is provided for the relay on the M2 circuit. This energizes the relay, closing the contacts. When the relay contacts are closed, power is provided through the relay to the M50 circuit.
The M50 circuit supplies current to the ignition switch lamp in the steering column. Ground for the lamp is provided on the Z3 circuit. This circuit splices with the glove box lamp, the ash receiver lamp, and the PRNDL lamp. The Z3 circuit terminates at the instrument panel left center support.

 

dont assume that you switch is bad, before you take it off with the one screw and clean it up to make sure its grounded.

 

i touched the back of the plug thing with a screwdriver and didnt get one tiny spark, and i think if it had power to it it would spark it, but i could be wrong

 

apparently you didnt read my post. you are now on my ignore list for being stupid. ohh and go get yourself a haynes manual, you will need it. i bet people laugh in your face when you talk.

 

not at all
i dont wanna know what the switches do, or how they work
just want to get the damn thing workin right

 

i took you off ignore cause you are too funny.

the answers are right infront of you. to know how to fix something you have to know how they work.

go tell your dad to kick your ***.
