Do the "personal lights"/map lights on the GT convertible only lights up when you push the switch forward? When I pull the switch back, they go off, but do NOT turn on when the door is open. I thought they were supposed to turn on when the door is open. Anyone have any issues like this?

It's a vert so there is no "dome" light per say and its pretty damn dark at night lol

Yep... My 99 vert lights turn on when they're pushed forward and on with the door when theyre pushed backward (towards driver).
But my light switch has worn away so bad, there's not notches for setting it between the three modes. It's like tuning into an old radio and you don't know if the light is set until it actually turns on, there's no click or anything to it

Thanks!. Mine turn on when I push forward but do NOT come on when pushed back. I have a list of general maintenance and some leak checks for my mechanic in a week or 2. I will have them check. The fog lights got fixed as it was a ground issue, thinking this or a switch might be the case. I freaking love this car, as it's fun to drive, but with 255k miles, I am slightly worried about it becoming a money pit laugh.gif It does run pretty good though. I have done some general tune-up stuff and the engine is running much better.
