Domelight issue....

I just got my first neon about two months ago and I was wondering... Is there a switch or something that doesn't switch on the dome light when the door is open... I know it's a safety feature but it gets pretty annoying every time I vacuum the car during the day and it drains the battery, so I need to jump start it every time it does.

if you wanna just turn it off for good take the fuse out.

I think you need a new battery or you need to vacuum faster. personally I'd pull the bulb since the dome light fuse is on the same circuit as the radio memory.

hmmmm well someone suggested over at neons.org that i should rewire the doors so it wouldn't switch on if i open it....

gotta love the car!

you could run a switch so it only came on when you wanted it too. cheap and easy

easily just unplug your door switches that give it ground. you only need a #2 Phillips screwdriver then and your headlight switch turned all the way to the left will turn off and on your dome light.

yeah thats exactly what i was gonna say just take out your little buttons that when you open the door makes the light come on and unplug it
