Title: Rear Passenger Courtesy Light
Post by: Shelby68GT500 on September 21, 2023, 01:45:11 PM
Not getting power to this lamp assy, but can confirm power at the connection near the door jamb. Anyone have any experience in accessing this harness after it passes thru the rocker? Or will it require removal of both upper and lower rear panels? All other courtesy lights work fine, including including license plate and trunk lid.

You should not have to remove the panels. Simply pull the light out and recheck for power

Thanks Peter, I've got the light assy out and no power at the connectors. Problem has to be somewhere upstream, but don't know where the lead for that assy breaks out of the harness.

There is a small harness that plugs into the rocker panel lead. It has a ground and a power

Peter, to get to the harness you speak of, remove the upper or lower panels?

Yes, probably the bottom panel is best. This small intermediate chunk is probably 9-12 inches long and screwed to metal behind lower panel
