Thanks for the info!
	<<So if the light comes on when the driver's door is
opened, but does not remain on for a few seconds after being closed, look
for a faulty grounding contact on the forward edge of the door handle
(inside the door cavity).>>

	From the ETM this switch looked like the most probable as the dome lights
do work, they just do not stay on.  Is this switch(contact) the same as the one
for the heated door lock?  If so, then putting an ammeter in series with the
fuse serving the door lock heater would tell me if the ground is being made or
if it is the timer module that is defective.  The current should start high then
drop when the lock heater turns off.  This does assume that the lock heater
could work if the ground were made.  I guess the best way is to take the door
apart.  Could you tell I really would rather not do that?  Oh well...
	Thanks again, TTYL
