[DML] Interior lights

["joopnoordzij" <noordzy@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
This is my first post to this group. I've had my D for a year now, 
and been doing all kinds of small repairs. But now I've run up to a 
problem, which proves difficult to fix.
At first, my interior lights did not come up when I opened a door, 
although the door lights workes fine. I found out that the PO 
somehow switched the wires in the light assembly (both front and 
back). After that, the front light work fine when the door is 
opened, dims a tiny bit when the door closes and finally goes out 
after 10-20 seconds. But then the light is not completely out, but 
still faintly shines. When the back interior light is also switched 
to the courtesy position, both lights will not go out after 10-20 
seconds, but instead seem to cycle every 10 seconds: they go out for 
a split second, then come on again for 10 seconds, etcetera. I 
checked the front 3 diodes, which seem okay, but there must be a 
fourth according to the diagram, but where? I cannot think of 
anything else but the diodes. Now should I search for the fourth 
diode, just go ahead with replacing the three front ones anyway, or 
am I missing something?
Any help is appreciated.
