I ordered this little module from some guys on Amazon. They make third brake light flashers and a few other modules just like this, little utility things:
So, when you get in the dome light stays on for up to 20 seconds, unless you touch the key. And it ramps up and down slowly and nicely (or quickly if you touch the key). Seemed like a nice touch.
It -would- have been simple if the car were wired like the shop manual shows it to be, with a single orange courtesy light power side that you could interrupt. But in reality, they're all powered from disjoint locations.
My problem is that each darned interior light seems fed from a different source! They're all orange, and they share a common switched ground of course, but the console is powered from a different spot than the dome light which is different than the footwell lights.
So, I'll have to separately supply each of those if I'm going to control them all, because I wind up using the switched ground for control only, not actually turning the lights on and off.
Kind of like a modern E or S class Mercedes I added some blue LED footwell lighting and accent lighting. Not stock, of course, but this isn't my "original" car!
PS: One of these pics will need to be rotated somehow!
