Ckeeler I took the switch assembly out and took a closer look. On the back side of this switch assembly There are 2 wires tapped into(T-tap). One is brown on the assembly and that is tied to the solid white coming out of the alarm brain wich is parking light output.

The other wire coming out of the switch assembly that is tapped is white(maybe pink) and it is tied to the green on the alarm wich is door trigger -.

Does that further support its the switch assembly that is bad? Not sure how fast that assembly is gonna get here today. Sorry for being a pest, I'm just anxious to get my car back! ;-P

If you need to drive the car, leave the fuse out and temporarily power the alarm wire. At least you can drive until the switch comes in.

That is not really an option the short is drawing constant power and leaving my Optima yellowtop low. I have the battery out of the car on a trickle charger untill the short is fixed. I don't want to kill a 200 dollar battery.

I didn't mean to temprarily apply constant voltage. You will have to place a switch in line with it.

ckeeler are you around. I made a big bone headed move.

There are 2 brown wires coming out of this harness. I cut everything loose not relizing this. I have all of the wires connected except the 2 solid brown wires.

On the light switch assembly one of the brown wires comes from a 4 pin harness, the other comes from a 7 pin harness. How do i test the 2 brown wires left hanging to determin which wire goes to which harness?

what do the 2 wires measure when the switch is off, and when the switch is on?
