Headlight Switch Cranks Engine??

I think Gary pretty much covered it.
But let me ask; Do you understand this diagram?

This what you're asking.

If you don't understand, then say so. Its really important to understand the basics to trouble shoot.

I understand when the door opens it triggers the dome light to come on due to the switch making ground contact.

There are no other on/off switches that control the dome lights.


I just want to make sure that when I unplug the black and yellow wires from the door jambs.

This will keep the lights off so I would need to install a switch to be able to turn on and off the dome lights.

Since the dome light fuse kept burning, I put a switch connecting the fuse terminals so I am able to turn the dome lights on and off without a fuse
