Well, I went out and checked, and there is no evidence of any sort of switch or button. Yes, there is a dome light and I traced the wire all the way to under the dash. It is not plugged in to anything, but put a hot to it and it lit up!

Now I am confused.

This shows how they are supposed to be wired up http://www.fordification.com/images/sch ... lights.jpg sounds like someone removed part of the wire harness that goes to the doors and light switch. :dk:

Bump--this link is dead. Can anyone update?

I bought my truck the other day, went out tonight to find out I have all dash lights and dome light working! So stoked, but no door pin switches, or the bracket they mount on.

I'll check the junk yard, unless someone has a set they'll sell? I love opening a car door and having the light come on...

Oh, and I need to get one of Jaime's dome lights--is he back in business? No new updates in a long time that I can see.
