I thought turning the headlight switch would do something but I get nothing. How does this work? Where is the switch supposed to be? O Blue 65 stepside I love to duck hunt. [email protected] | | |

You can also add a 'delay' so that the dome light stays on for x seconds after you close the door. LMC advertises the delay and the jamb switches are pretty standard stuff that are easy to wire up.

The switch does feel/operated poorly so I guess I will change it along with everything else I am changing.

It feel great and works great. O BLUE Looks good runs great. I smoked 20 duck breast tonight and sampled about 4 with a wonderful bottle of red wine.
