Based on the wiring diagrams, it doesn't LOOK like it should come on with the doors, it draws power off the Bat line and the switch grounds it. I've got a 68 dash harness in front of me as well and I don't see any wiring that connects the door jamb switches to the area where the light would be. There is a orange black right there where it would pull 12v from just like the wiring diagram says it is. Now that's not to say there wasn't a second wire off the right side door switch that could have jumped back to the light and the map light switch isolated the grounding points so as not to turn the dome light on when the map light was lit backfeeding the ground through all the courtesy lights.
NOW the only problem is my impressionable mind is sure my 68 used to light up with the doors open and when I parted the car, here's the harness, so where's the magic ground wire from the doorjamb switches to the light?
So what am I missing here?
I love a good mystery...it's better than going outside and grinding on rusty fenders!
