Default questions for my 1990 740gl

Im new here at these forums, but I have some questions for my baby (1990 740gl).

First one is about the dome light on the roof of the interior. It only turns on for me when I hit the switch. Is the dome light supposed turn on automaticly(sp) when you open the door?

My dash is very cracked. I tried to find a repair kit, but couldn't. I bought a dash cover carpet thing, but it just covered the very top of it and looked bad. If anyone knows where to buy a good quality one and looks good would be appreciated.

And lastly, I looked on the net for 1 hour to try to find some Euro lights for my car but was unsecessful. They probably don't exsist, but maybe someone out there knows somewhere.


Any info would be appreciated. I want my baby to look good, im sure you guys can understand that

Check the switch position and the door pins.
For the lights and parts Check out my post in the general section links for sites.
I think there is a site that has the euro lights.

Thanks for info. I tried all the switch positions, but didn't work. I haven't looked at the door switch yet, so thats probably it.

Edit: I have looked through your links, and I found some interesting stuff. I already have a couple things on order

Let me know how you make out with the interior light.
The assembly might also be bad but look at the buttons first.

I checked the door switch and the interior light assembly and I didn't see anything out of the ordinary. I am thinking its the wiring or something.

The light switches go bad and soemtimes need to be replaced but you will have to do some modifications for the new one.
