1991 Coupe L98
Todays Mystery: Interior Lights do not turn off.
I pulled the fuse, but then I lose air conditioning as well. I thought it was the drivers side door switch
pulled it out checked it and seems ok. What controls the automatic shut off?? Any ideas out there, or do I just have to pull the fuses every time I park?!?!?

I fixed it, after pulling both door panels and checking both door jamb switches, all being ok,and getting fed up. I just started the car, drivers door open, slam drivers door and noticed door ajar light flashed off then on. Bingo, door jamb switch. I shimmed it out a about 1/16 with some rubber tubing, works fine. LOok for something simple first.

That would be annoying to have to do that everytime you park!

Hi Chris
I just noticed your virginia beach address. Just finished a 4000Km run in the vette
that included V beach, Myrtle Beach, Savannah Georgia and back home. Enjoyed V beach,except we hit the tunnel at 5 PM. The vette got pretty warm in the Traffic,
otherwise nice spot.
