Doors off and dome light

[Earl B]

I just removed my full doors for the first time. Do I need to do something for the light switches? Amazon sells some clips that you put on them. Will it drain my battery if I don't?

Pull the number 4 fuse. Simple as that.

I made these clips out of stainless that cover door switches when I have doors off. It allows me still use the light switch on stalk to control interior lights.

I wired a rocker switch in my old TJ to kill the lights when doors were off, it was convenient.

If you go with clips, make sure that you remove them before reinstalling doors and closing them...

Good callout. I've found my clips are so thin, doors can even close while installed.

I did the rocker switch. A micro rocker mounted in the flange under the edge of the glove box door.

I pulled the fuse and just use the MFS to turn the dome light on as needed. No external switch needed.

Which is fine when you aren't switching between doors and not all the time on a daily driver.

Works even if you are. Open door, turn on switch. Or just reach in and turn on switch.

Just a piece of 1/2'' aluminum flat bar,a little hammer work,drill one hole, use stock screw, Wala. And you can just slide it to the left,or right, a smidge and light is active again.

I did a rocker up under the passenger footwell, but plan to do the Cadillac switch mod. I have all the parts just haven't gotten round to it....
And before anyone has any smart ideas...

Here is my round Tuit..
Now I have to get it done.
