Rear view mirror on 1996 B2500 Conversion Van

From : fawilson

Q: hello all i have been beating my head over this one. i have the above listed van it is a starcraft conversion. it has a rear view mirror with a compass and temperature indicator above it. below it there are two lights on the sides of the mirror are push buttons to turn them on while inside. when you open the doors these two lights come on. when you close the door they go off. they use to stay off. now they go off and some times com right back on. if i play with any of the door push buttons it turns off fine. when i close the door they go off and sometimes come right back on. i read the manual for the conversion and it says that you can over ride the interior entry lights by turning the light knob fully clockwise until it clicks. nope does nothing for that light. the book also shows an ignition light delay relay took that out nope no help. the book talks about pulling the conversion control fuse to keep the battery from getting drained uh nope does nothing for that light. beyond that i have pulled all the fuses i can find but i can not find the one that controls that light. there are fuses in the glove box under the hood and circuit breakers under the dash on the drivers side. short of taking the light bulbs out of this dang thing does anyone have any ideas thank you frederick wilson .
