Hi Guys:
I had the headliner on my 87 740 redone by a shop around me . Now the
overhead light does not turn off when I shut the door(s). I have to turn the switch to off position to avoid a discharge in the battery. The connections
in the unit look to be ok. However something must happened when the upholsterer reconnected the unit becaused the nbr. 5 fuse was burned.
I dont know if the light unit is damaged or if he did not connect the wires
that come up on either side just above the rear doors. I'm mentioning this because I saw these wires popping up(disconnected) when I looked at the inside of the car as old headliner,board,side plastic mouldings had been removed.
Is that a way to test the light unit to find out if it's in good condition?
I really wanted to avoid a new trip to the upholsterer and ask him to check the interior connections,when the problem might be the light unit itself...
Unit was in perfect working condition,before job was done.
Tks for any ideas.
