[C320-list] Interior lights

[Larry Frank]

Holly,

I have found there are two items other than burnt out bulbs that make these
lights not work.

The lamp wires on WindSwept are connected to the wiring harness via a very
cheap blue wire splicing connector.  You should replace these for lamps you
have trouble with.

The other thing is the rivets that hold the wire terminals to the light
itself get loose.  I found by bending the connector at the end of the wire
I could make them make a good electrical contact again.

If changing the bulb doesn't work, take out the two screws that hold the
light fixture in the headliner and the fixture will drop down and you will
be able to get to both of these.

Many owners have upgraded their lights, but I prefer the softer light that
the older OEM lights provide.  I have a couple of small portable 110 V
lights for when I need to really see something.

Hi
I have an older 320, hull 261, and some of the overhead lights are out.  How
do you get in there to replace them?
