Nobodys knows I have 1 that is hot but a new switch didn't help.
I am thinking there should be 2 hot wires.

I looked at the wiring diagram and I think it's only 3 but I'm not too sure as its not too clear ...
one for the h/l is designated as bk/o...black and orange.
one for the insturmrnt panel is designated t/w... teal and white?
the third is the dome light and it's designated lg/y..light grey and yellow maybe... I dont know if there allways hot or not. and there a splice in the dome light circuit that gets its feed from the door's ect...
shows three wires into the switch and 4 out.
hope that helps
