RE: [Chevelle-list] Dome Light Wiring
I went into the trunk (which was full of tools) and looked up behind the seat way over to the left and what do you know. A connector holding orange and white wires running up the side. Good thing to know... now I am just trying to figure out where that blue wire is going :) - JB -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Crazy Rusty Sent: Friday, July 09, 2004 11:50 AM To: 'The Chevelle Mailing List' Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] Dome Light Wiring Someone told me that as well off-list. I started thinking maybe it's for the courtesy lights. I am going to wait to wire it until I have my engine harness done. That way I can light it up and see what happens. I am getting a new extension harness to go from front to back, I'll check it for connections when that comes in.

I have one wire running to the dash. There is no connection in the dash harness for it so I figured that it must have to get spliced into the wire for the door switch. That way when the door is open, the dome light would turn on? I think. Does that make sense? Thanks, JB
Re: [Chevelle-list] Dome Light Wiring
Pete the doom lamp is like you said but it's a two wire deal.. on black on black with orange stripe.. it grounds through you door jam switches and the ground detent of your head lamp switch..

Re: [Chevelle-list] Dome Light Wiring
can't speak for 69's but GM was not quick to change a proven design.. The dome lamp is wired into the ribbon wire under the floor.. it's junction is behind the rear seat brace drivers side along with the gas tank fuel gage and the plug from the rear tail lamp harness. POP out the back seat and you'll be able to ring that circuit out..

Re: [Chevelle-list] Dome Light Wiring
Aren't dome lights wired similar to horns? That is the circuit is hot, but open until completed by going to ground by the door jam switches? My 64's console light works but not the dome light. Have to investigate that some day! Pete Geurds Douglassville, PA

Hmm.. not off hand, but I can take a look at mine when I get home... it's mostly unmolested, and the interior is out of it so I can trace it easy. -- Shawn Price Senior Network Engineer Morrison Homes 404-427-8229 On Jul 9, 2004, at 12:50 PM, Crazy Rusty wrote: Anyone know how the dome light is wired in a 69?
