hmmm.. the interior light swtices have 3 positions.. always off, on with doors open, on full time.

no need to trick the door switch. it's in the owner's manual I'm sure. - if that's what you mean.

the key-in contact, btw ..is a very useful feature .. makes a perfect 'accessory' positon for radios.
