As people have already said, the map light goes off when you fold it up
underneath the dash. I think there's supposed to be some mechanism which
prevents it from falling back down again, but this was worn out on mine, and the
light would come on every time I went over a bump. I decided to remove it - I
might get round to replacing it (either with a less-worn light, or something
custom-made) but so far I haven't missed it.

Subject: spit map lite
I dont know if the previous owner did some rewiring or not. The map lite is
on non stop as long as the headlights are turned on. Is this normal? Or is
it supposed to be wired some other way. If I turn the knob for the
instrument lite dimmer it does not seem to have a détente that I can feel
which might suggest that it is supposed to control the map lite.
Thanks
Winnie
