Re: e28 relay popping

[Chip Baines <ebaines@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There's a relay that controls the interior lights located below in the area just
above the drivers left knee, not far from the hood release lever.  Does that sound
like it could be it?  You should be able to hear this relay click if you open the
driver's door and then play with the spring-loaded switch in the door frame near the
hinge (this switch grounds a lead to the relay, making the interior lights come on
when the door's open).
