[DML] Re: interior lamps won't turn off

["Sean" <sweitzel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Short reply: I fixed the issue and the lamps now turn off correcly. I
did, however make an interesting discovery - It seems that the LED
bulbs from DMCH for some reason as far as I can tell don't draw enough
current to tell the lamp delay timer to turn off the lamps when the
doors are closed. Even with the dome lights hooked up correctly, the
lamps would not shut off. Putting original incandescent bulbs back in
restored normal functionality.
