Sliding door wiring

Post by adsnape »

I have a brown 12v live wire hanging in the forward sliding door post that connects to a light. Does anyone know where the other end connects to? I can track it to the top of the.pilllar but I don't want to drop the headlining unless I have to. There is no courtesy light on the sliding door side, does the wire come from the drivers (opposite) side?
I love my brick

The wire in question joins in to the loom and connects to all interior lights . The join is above the interior light above the cab door infront of your sliding door . 
to prove it is connected , connect the end of the brown wire to the body work and any and all of the interior lights should come on .
