The delay circuit is built into the light itself, but takes an input a wire that comes from the drivers door switch. Obviously you need both to get the feature working.

For those that don't like the feature, it can be easily disabled. Just pull the light down from the headliner. There are 4 wires - ground, +12, common door switch, and driver door switch (for delay). If you remove the wire for the drivers door, the delay will be disabled but the light will still come on and off for the drivers door, just like the other doors. This wire is the one that comes out of the small circuit board at the front of the light assembly.

I think all the 900 series cars came with this "feature". I've had it on both of my '93 945s and I absolutely hate it! Upon exiting the car at night, I'm continually looking over my shoulder wondering if the door is shut all the way -- and if the damn light is going to turn off. Unfortunately for you, it's my wife's car, and she likes the feature. Otherwise I'd offer you an even swap for yours -- I'd love to get rid of that delay. I may have a spare unit in my basement with a delay built into it. I'll check tonight. The color is maroon, but if that doesn't match your interior, you could just swap the guts.

I'll get back to you.
