Weird interior lighting problem ONLY when around 55 degrees

[GTU89]

Okay, my interior lights (Dome and courtesy lights) will not work at all when the temp is around say, 55 degrees and below, not even if you try to manually turn them on, they only work when the tempurature is warmer than around say 55 degrees. Any ideas? all electronics work fine other than the aformented problems.

You have a loose connection. When its colder the metal in the loose connection contracts enough that it won't let it work. When its warmer, it does the opposite. As to what? No idea. Fuse holder, fuse, or door switch. As it sounds like all the interior lights are affected....

That makes sense, I'm actually really surpised at how strong the car runs and how nice of condition it is in considering how stupid the previous owners were. I found out that they had the domelight held in with a self-tapping household wood screw! And in doing that they drilled through the wires going to it so when I took the screw out I had to fix that wiring. lol the door panels were also held in with screws as well, and duct tape.

So this could be another thing I have to fix that the retards "fixed"

Odd stuff, glad mines not all hacked up like that. Good luck with fixing the problem. I can't say I've ever heard of something like this before. Where are you from? I seem to remember you as a PA guy right?

Its the drivers side pin switch sticking

Some rust penetrant (not just WD-40) should cure most of your issues.

I had a bunch of issues with my K5, makes me want to buy HD door switches.

Bit of a bump but I fixed the problem with WD-40. The pin switch was just incredibly dirty.
