Exit lighting doesn't work anymore
Well I've had my car for three years and love it except for the gremlins that pop up in the electrical system every once in a while. When you remove the key from the ignition the interior lights are suppossed to turn on, but mine don't anymore. It started with it sometimes not working or sometimes being delayed a few seconds but now it just doesn't work period. Anyone have any ideas or have had a similar problem?
My Driver Info Center is flakey too but I'll try the fix listed in the tech info.
thanks,
Jeff

Um, you mean my fix, of basically taking the gauge cluster out and putting it in again?
For the lights it could be a controller but i'd have no idea where to find it, it also seems like when I shut the door the lights dim way faster than they should. Another prob is that sometimes even though the twilight sentinel is set to the minimum setting it will keep the headlights on for the full three minutes. Aside from the DIC mostly minor things but still annoying none the less, (everything must work perfectly )

Would a rheostat just stop working, or act up intermitently like I'm experiencing? I'll have to look into that, hmm...
Where can I find a factory manual for my car? that may come in handy in the future
thanks,
Jeff
