Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting wiring diagram?

Please re-read last para of my April 9/02 7:47am post to reinforce your thought.
The ground connection we are talking about is a black wire running to a 10 pin connector (two rows of 5 pins). It shows a wide interlock tab on one side and a smaller on the opposite side. The black wire is the end pin on the wide tab side, the adjacent wire should be red with black stripes.
If you cut this ground (after providing new ground path for timer, as per prior post) then you could run wires to normally closed contacts of a new relay. Then you energize new relay coil when you want to inhibit interior lights (presumably from new security system).
If your after market device had an available NC contact which opened when armed you would not of course need a new relay.

Regards.

Sorry to jump in here but I think you guys could help me with a problem. I recently changed the battery. I had to jump the car a couple times before getting the new battery. Ever since replacment, I lost courtesy lights and the stereo. Also, the solenoid that allows the shifter to move from Park to Drive continues to "click" everytime the brake is depressed. Where should I look next? All the fuses are good and I checked out the pertinate breakers but no go. Am I overlooking something obvious? Thanks for taking the time to read this. By the way it's a "96 GL

Frustrated:
No problem jumping in but to get the most help, starting a new topic with your post would attract others attention and generate the most exposure to your specific problem.
Rather than double post I suggest you delete the above post and repost as new topic. Also allows search engine to find your problem and hopefully solution in future.
Welcome aboard, lots of good material on here and the members are quite helpful.

Edit: Factory stereo/cd? dome light OK? Did you check both under dash and engine compartment fuses? (plse include answers in new post).
