Hmm suddently I'm having a shorted issue, apparently the door open wire is shorted somewhere.

First, the "door open" light went on out of nowhere. Eventually it went out but its causing issues now. It doesnt turn on when the door's really open, the map lights are not working (they cause the "door open" light to turn on actually... ugh), and the inter. wiper setting doesnt work sometimes... any suggestions would be amazingly appreciatted...

 

 

have you added any type of electrical componenet recently?

 

nope, happened out of the blue...

 

whats up dude......sorry thisis kind of random, but I saw that you were selling a bumper for a 98 teggie....do you still have it ? I am in CT so I can pick it up....reply to this if you get it .

 

if your talkin about the dome light, i suggest you remove the bulb and test for shorts between the contacts and the body(look for continuity). i don't know how the wipers have anything related to the lights. the best thing to do is to get a digital multimeter and start testing per the Helms manual wire shematics.

 

spent a good hr today poking around under the dash and nothing seems wrong... ugh I wonder how much it'd cost to have a audio/eletronic place look at it...

 

do you have an aftermarket alarm installed?

 

nope

 

if you are talkin about the dome light i think it may get power off the same wires as the map lights. on the driver side pilar(next to the windshield) under the plastic panel i think the wire runs for the map/dome light. what gets me is your wiper problem.
if you take your car to a shop, take it someplace that specializes in wiring, not an audio place. that kind of labor can be expensive cuz it involves a lot of time to test everything. for example, my shop worked on a expedition and put speakers in. one of the guys who put the door panel back on, screwed accidently into the courtesy light wire. it took 4 months for the fuse to pop cuz the screw slowly wore into the insulation then grounded out. the dealer took 6 hours to find it and the total for the bill was 700 hundred dollars, for them to track the wire down and tape it up. have you removed any panels inside the car recently?
