by: Anonymous

Finally, it did take me some time to discover the fault. The electronic timer (located behind the glove box on my 78) was faulty. I have disconnected it. There are some connectors which can be set together in order to have the interior light working, albeit without delay. I will check which connectors there are and send you a description of these.

I have the same problem on mine. I have bought it with this problem and I am still investigating. One idea I have is that it could be caused by the delaytimer.
