Whenever you are dealing with a capacitor of any value, you should really place a small ohm value resistor inline of the power wire to slow the charge and discharge of the cap. A diode is a safety precaution that you really don't need, but if it will make you feel safer installing it... it won't hurt anything, just takes more time.

Hey Jeff,

Any small size resistor will do?

Thanx.

Thanks for the suggestions, will give them a try, will probably experiment with a seperate light before wiring into vehicle light

Play around with the resistance a bit. try about 800 - 1 k ohm and if this is too slow lower the resistance or raise it if it's too fast.

Before I start I have been thinking that I may be approaching this in the wrong manner, the problem stems from the fading interior light, would it be simpler to find a way of shutting off the dome light when the door is closed instead of waiting for it to fade into oblivion ?

well, i know a 'stereo ON till door open' relay configuration is something like we would want but i cant seem to wire it correctly for this application...i run into the problem of having the door closed when disarmed (LIGHT ON) and opening it without having the light go off till door closed again...anyone care to try??
