Re: <E30> Dome Light

[Jay Snyder <jsnyder@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The switches in the DL's are fine (DOPS -- Do operate properly state).,
I'm refering to the LBSITDJ (little black switch in the door jamb).   Both 
DL's come on when opening the PSD (passenger door), but not when opening
the DSD (driver's side door), and via their LBS.

Thanks for you help anyways. (TFYHA).

I am an engineer, so I found you acronyms humors (IFYAH).

HAGD, (Have a good day).
