[FC] Greenbrier doings

[Gary Swiatowy]

My Greenbrier has the rear light as well. The previous owner made the 
simplest fix imaginable to shut the light off when leaving the doors open. A 
2 inch long piece of metal, and 1 screw. When the light needs to be out, the 
piece of metal (which is placed close to the door jamb switch), just move it 
over the switch to depress it.
