O.K., maybe I left something out. The Jeep has a sound-bar with overhead
lights. The door switch (or dash light wheel) does not activate any
lights anywhere ('cept the dash lights), even with the door switch
enabled. Perhaps something was done when the sound bar was installed?
The sound bar's lamps only light when their switches are pushed. There
is only the one light under the driver's side - no door switch or lamp
on passenger side. I pulled it and checked the bulb, it's o.k.. I traced
the two wires into the loom. The socket looked fine. The YJ is in pretty
good condition, it was garage kept and had less than 80,000 miles and
little or no actual four wheeling.

Look in your whiskey chest to see if there's a 10 amp fuse in #4,
bottom right corner marked "door sw defeat".
