So I figured I would bring this post from the dead rather than start a new one...
So I finally got around to tearing into my door panel to see if I could run a wire that would allow me to add courtesy lights to the doors. Upon taking the door panel off, I found a spare plug. I think that it is for the door light (previous models had the clear lens at the bottom of the front doors that was later replaced with a red reflector with no light)
I put a meter on the plug to find that I have 12v. With the meter still in the plug, I close the door thinking that once the dome/footwell lights go out, Ill loose power to the door plug right? Wrong. Its 12v all the time.
What gives? Is this plug not what I think it is for? If it is for the door lights from previous models, how can I make it work for this application (if at all)?
