It finally happened!

My interior lights just started staying on intermittently. Seems like the front passenger door. I'll have to pull the panel and lube the switch.

Whenever any of mine act up like that I just hit the latches where they meet the Nader Pin with a short squirt of WD40 and exercise the door several cycles and the lights behave for the next year or so.

Really, you don't know? I figured you and Ralph might be buds, both of ya seem to be experts on nearly everything. J/K Brent, yeah ole Ralphie pushed for the safety latches with the pin, hence the "Nader Pin". And just one more piece of automotive trivia, the third brake light we all have is also known as the "Libby Light" after Libby Dole, Bob's wife, she was a major player in the push for them.

Interesting, I had a feeling it might have evolved from Nader. I was hoping they would start making the Ex's again and calling them the Brent Edition........but no such luck.
