Thanks for the idea.

There is one thing I neglected to mention in my original post; The driver's side entry light (the small light under the door) started to malfunction, and eventually quit working, roughly at the same time the dash light problem started. Now, when the driver door is open the interior light is not activated, but the passenger door will activate the interior light.

Also, the analog clock in the dash (under the tachometer) stopped functioning when this problem started. At the incept, this problem was intermittent and although the lights would remain on in the panel they would turn off after roughly 3-5 minutes. The problem progressed to the magnitude described in the original post in roughly 4 weeks.

I came across another member who had experienced the same problem, but his problem appeared to clear itself up, I am not so lucky.

Please keep the ideas coming, and I will be sure to try the seat diode problem.

Two questions, however; Where can I find a wiring diagram for this partcular car, and do you happen to know where the diode for the seat is located?

Thank you for posting.
