Courtesy Light Problem

[Gary A.]

I recently installed courtesy light door swithches in my 1959. The switches were purchased from paragon. I have everything wired correctly but cannot get the lights to operate. The car was not originally equipped with this option. The wires are there from the original harness for the door switches and the light. What am I missing.

Gary,
I believe that the first thing that I would do is to check for voltage at the back of the door switch. If no voltage is present, you'll need to get a wiring diagram and follow the wire back to the fuse panel. (Be sure that you have a good fuse in the panel). Hope that this helps.
