I posted a while back that I had several interior lighting problems on my 89 900s 4door and others said they had the same problem. All the center dash backlights were inop as well as the dome, map, cigarette and igntion lights. Well...I got them all working againand here is the fix. The interior lights were all related to a bad toggle switch. I removed the switch and took it apart to inspect and clean the contacts. One of the contacts was completely worn down so I purchased a new switch for $21 (US). The lights started working intermitently so I sprayed some contact cleaner in the door switches and now they work great. The dash back lights were a combination of bad rheostat and burned out bulbs. I took the rheostat out and cleaned the contacts but could never get a good resistance check. I couldn't order a new one locally, so I just replaced it with a simple toggle switch for $1.99 (US) and got replacement bulbs (2721) for $1.77/pair all at PepBoys. I can now see the light!!!!!!!
