Dome light Euratech question


Recommended Posts

Quick question for anyone that has the euratech 7180 dome lights. I just installed them and they're working a little differently then some of the write up say.

 

I think they're supposed to be 

Down-light on

Middle - light off

Top - switched with the door

Or maybe reverse that is I've got it upside down

 

Right now I have the same function in the middle and top position, both turn on and off when the door opens. It's not a big deal, but I was wondering if this is supposed to be happening, or if maybe I got a bad light, or more wiring issues. 

 

I was also wondering if anyone knows what this pink and black wire in the same loom is for?

I have the euratech lights.  Up or down is on, middle is switched with the door switches or headlight rotary knob.

Thanks pizza man, that's close enough to what mine are doing, I'm not going to worry about it

Here's one source. Maybe other sources out there.

 

Euramtec

Thanks, that doesn't look like a very promising location or at least I didn't find it there.  So I'll hold on for the moment to see if others may know of a more direct source for this, or possibly even suggest other alternate replacements.  Tried EBAY and Amazon, no luck there forthis part number at least.

Well I didn't find it the first time, but the second time the search was easy, go figure..

Thanks.

Does this come with wiring instructions or is this puzzle left to the user?

 

 The Jeep connector has 3 wires.  Black, Red, Black/White-Stripe.  The Red is 12V with respect to chassis ground.  I was expecting one of the other two to show direct connection to chassis, but neither did so if anyone has the schematic, that would be handy.

I guess my answer is both. There is a schematic, but there is still some figuring out on your own.

BLK should find chassis GND thru G102 at all times. BLK/WHT should find GND thru door jamb switches with open door(s) or when headlamp switch is set for interior lights ON.

Confirmed BLK constant continuity to chassis GND with multi-meter once I found a reliable chassis ground connection.  I don't know what/where G102 is but since I see a GND connection I guess I don't care.

 

BLK/WHT does show continuity to GND when doors open or when switched by headlight control, although the continuity is not solid it fluctuates between ~150 ohms down to ~20 ohms.  I'm going to assume this is close enough until I find out any differently.

Ordered these earlier this year. After exchanging some emails with Chris Cook (chris@ssterlingco.com) from S. Sterling Company he directed me to buy from https://www.partshubdirect.com/euramtec-1/euramtec-universal-12v-auto-courtesy-flip-interior-light-a-7180

For any penny pinchers reading this, or just for the curious (or us engineers that just can't help it), and for an order of 2,  it cost $1.75 more at Parts Hub assuming they collect tax (which EBAY will do).  If Parts Hub doesn't collect sales tax (Texas) then EBAY is $1.22 more.  And just for fun from a long time EBAY seller myself, Parts Hub will have to share their sale with EBAY to the tune of close to 15%, so they really effectively net somewhere in the ballpark of $8 more selling directly, so no surprise they would strongly prefer selling directly!
