<VV> courtesy lamp question II

[HallGrenn at aol.com]

Randy,
 
What everyone else said plus check the wire behind the door switch---many  
have been twisted too much by POs turning the nut without holding the 
contact  plunger to keep the wires from twisting into a ball or breaking back 
inside  behind the switch.  If the switch doesn't ground the wire because the 
wire  is broken you won't get the lights to work.

What  wiring is messed up? You have hot at the bulbs, and the switches 
seem  fine. So, you just need the white wire to connect between the lamps 
and  the switches.

What happens when you put lamps in the  sockets?

another light switch and  observed its operation. Unless my switch in the dash is 
totally hosed, I think  that can be ruled out as a cause.  Both door jamb 
switches appear ok and  seem to function normally.  That leaves the wiring.  
On this score,  as I don't have much under dash experience, I need some 
advice.

the instrument cluster even?  I already  have both front seats removed.  Or 
would I be better off just to  grin-and-bear-it ?  Thoughts and wisdom on this 
issue  please.
