I think Ill be so good to point out wouldnt it just be easier to look if your lights are still on?  :-)

It really should just be something that comes as natural when you come to getting out you car tbh, i.e. hand brake on, neutral gear, electricals off, engine off, put into gear,  get out and lock.

It *should* be...but obviously the motor industry has decided enough people do it to warrant fitting such circuitry as standard to all new cars. Ive not been in or driven a car from about 1997/8 onwards that didnt beep when you open the door with lights on.

I dont understand what wires your looking for.

I am looking for a wire that carries a voltage when:

The headlights are on

The sidelights are on

The switch that keeps the interior light on when the door is closed is in the closed position.

Edit: for clarification, I realise there isnt a single wire that carries a voltage under all those conditions...I realise Im looking for 3 different wires.

I "think" its just part of the relay that controls the lighting system.

Youd be better asking somewhere like www.migweb.co.uk

on a corsa the inside light switch is part of the headlight switch right ? you pull it in and out ? tho Im not sure why you want that one... isn;t the one you want the one that turns it on when the door is open ?

if so... its switched on/off by the negative not the positive, look for the little push switch around the door frame somewhere... when you open the door, switch pops out, contact connects to car body and bingo theres your negative

for the headlight ones... take it from the back of the headlight itself (easy, but not so tidy) or the back of the fuse box (little harder, tidier tho)



edit: p.s. if you need a +ve from the interior light for your sircut to work you could easily wire up a small relay with a perm positive and have the neg powering it on/off.......  tho i guess if your building the circut above etc.. then you know what your doing

if so... its switched on/off by the negative not the positive, look for the little push switch around the door frame somewhere... when you open the door, switch pops out, contact connects to car body and bingo theres your negative

100% right...found this when installing. Thanks!  

Jeez mate, is that the simplest solution you found?
