Check out my thread and look at post #10!! http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8576

That's the way you would hook up one of your lights, just gotta use a wire that has 12v all the time but hook your light up like I did!! Like I mentioned before, if you hook the 12v power to one side of the switch and the light comes on, that tells you that you need to hook up the other side of the switch instead!!

Just try one light like that and let us know if it works like it should!!

I checked out your thread, and not sure i want to run a wire to the front/ back/ and all the way back, just to kill a buzzing noise. But i might try it for the front only and see how that goes. If so, then so be it. I'll read over what you guys have said when i cant sit still and really read it.

Mike, I am with you. I consider myself highly technical and somewhat educated, but I do not have a degree from Harvard.

I as well do not have a harvard engineering degree. lol

Nope, I will NOT check out your thread.

I am good with your first suggestion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can i be on the trip as well. Its not snowing here, its about 78 i think tomorrow, but at least you dont have to freeze while working on it.

Chris, you might have to draw these guys a picture.

Might be better. lol

I'll have to ask my daughter to borrow her finger painting supplies!! lol

or just have her draw it. Very visual person here, pics do say a thousand words. lol

Monkey wrench!

Now, before you borrow the finger paint, let me throw a MONKEY WRENCH your way, as the most BIZARRE thing just happened:

Installed the lights yesterday and had the problem since.

I just went to take my daughter somewhere and as she is driving with me, she wants to read something and turns on the front passenger reading/map light. Dim, as expected.

She is done reading and wants to look at something in the vanity mirror and as she opens it, I hear a click and the reading lamp/map light is as bright as can be.
I can not believe it, play around with it numerous times, turn it back off and on and even have her play with the vanity mirror a few times, I do the same with the drivers one. I even stop, shut the truck off and see if this may change anything.

NOPE, all lights still work in the manual position, BRIGHT as when the doors open.

NOW WHAT? BUT, it seems like MY ISSUE is solved!!!!!!!

WHAT?

Not sure i can try that now, w/ the relay, but might be trying that tomorrow. My kind of fix. A self fixing one.

I never open the vanity. Wonder if it matters, passenger or drivers? heck i'll try both of them.

Let us know if they go dim again.

Sheesh ... how many NBSers does it take to install a dome light?

What WHAT? Is my English bad? (No comment now Chauncey!) You heard me correctly!!!!!

I heard the click when the passenger vanity mirror opened. Since then, the problem seems to have gonme away!

Nice for sure if that solves your problem, it doesn't make sense just as much as the original reason for making this thread!! Something about GM's wiring, especially when the earlier trucks (02 and older) didn't have that problem!! They can't seem to leave good things untouched!!
