Old's Ciera - anyway to turn off interior lights
I am doing some interior work on my 1993 Olds Ciera and noted that I cannot turn off the interior lights when I have a door open. On most cars you can adjust the dash light setting to turn off all interior lights. The dial doesn't allow this on my Ciera. I also have an owners manual but it doesn't say anything about this.
Am I overlooking something that enables me to turn off the lights so as not to drain the battery when sitting in this car with the doors open? |

Remove the 'dome light' fuse.

just pull the dom fuse it us a 15 AMP FUSE but if that one blows you can use a 10 fuse for temp fuse

Re: Old's Ciera - anyway to turn off interior lights
Most cars are just the opposite- the dimmer switch turns "on" the dome lights. Only on GM trucks do I know that there is a dome light defeat switch. There are a few that do it right on the dome light....but these are all the exceptions...not found on a Cierra. Newer cars will turn off the dome light circuit after about 20 minutes- to avoid battery drain...
