Just wondering if there's an easy way of wiring in a dome light override. Just want a toggle that turns all the lights off even with the doors open.

 

Unconnect door switchs then use **** to turn on when needed

 

Might do that short term. I want the dome lights more often than not though. I need to figure something out I can just put on a toggle.

 

It would be nice to have something like that in my XJ. My 99 Tahoe has a push button that does just that and it is factory. You just push the button and the light will stay off when you open the doors.

 

Couldn't you find where all the door jam switches are running, splice a switch into them before they terminate? That should work right? Just need a wiring diagram.

 

I dont know how to read wiring diagrahms very effectively. Im new to all this. I have worked on motors a little before but everything else is new just hoping someone could give me some direction.

 

Go to the "ask a question thread" and see if someone can get the diagrams for you. Then see if they can explain which one you'd need to splice into with a switch. Explain your goals too, that might help. Lol

I'm not very good with electrical or I'd help you out more. I barely understand most diagrams.

 

Really be a @#$%^ to find the correct wiring diagram without even knowing the year.

 

Very true.

 

I just disconnected my switches. how hard is it to just turn the **** counterclockwise?

 

OP sounds like a tweaker. No offense, just an observation.

 

tweaker?

 

Meth addict. Was just a joke though. The username frantic29, and not wanting his dome light to come on...

 

If he comes back saying his front speakers, power locks, power windows, turn signals, headlights, brake lights etc no longer work we'll know for sure lol.

 

Man, rough crowd. Good thing I have pretty thick skin. My fault on not provided the year. I kind of figured that these things changed so little that it wasn't really necessary. I'll fix that from here on out. Its a 1996 Cherokee Country. If you need more let me know.

As far as a goal goes its pretty simple. I want an override on the drivers side dash. Nothing spectacular. Its just a feature that I have had on other vehicles that I like and use.

And on to the name. Not tweaker related, I can see the confusion though. Just something I use because its hardly ever taken when I register to forums.

Just so you know I did search around on here and didn't find what I was looking for. I will take some time tonight to see if I can dig up a wiring diagram but if someone could point me in the right direction on this and/or how the hell to read those things that would be great.
