yes the light is on, does it ever go off? or is this why it was unplugged, car was sitting for 22 years before i got it. It is not very bright but it is there

It will be on with the door open or for typically 30-45 seconds after the door is closed...It it stays on the delay timer has failed in the on position...The delay timer is plugged into the wiring near the yellow wire, fact is the yellow wire is one of the three wires going to the timer....It is a cylinder about 1.25" long by .75 around....They are still avalible from the dealer or half the mopars at the JY will have one...
