I have a 1998 Chevy express van. The courtesy lights won?t go off after starting the engine or shutting the door after engine is off. Contstant on.??? It is a conversion van with a smart fuse block model
211. I did find the troubleshooting manual for it and unhooked the two wires to it as it said. The juice from the OEM wiring is on at the box which means it is from the OEM wiring. I just bought this thing six days ago and need to know where the switch is on the drivers door so I can check the switch there when you open the door. Something is either shorting this thing out, a bad switch in the door, or does anyone have any other ideas. I unhooked the feed to the smart block intellitec system and everything functions correctly except the courtesy light. If I hook it back up, all hell breaks loose and all the lights stay on continually. If I unhook the intellitec fuse block to the conversion part, there is no juice to the courtesy light up front which is fine because that is where they hooked the OEM wiring harness to it, but there is juice on all the time on the courtesy light wire. The other wire, there is no power at all. Hope I have clarified this... Any help on the whereabouts of the door switch would be helpful, and I can check those as I did pop a fuse on the courtesy light OEM fuse block right before it didn?t work any longer. So something is doing something. It does not blow a fuse now. Plus one other thing....if you could. There is a relay under the hood to the right. It is a small one and all the wires are unhooked for this. Do you know what that is for at all? And is there any way to turn off the headlights that stay on continually? I forget the name of those. I have only driven older cars without that type of thing. Thanks a million. Hope someone has some insight to this. Gayle- posted
