I recently discovered a new issue with my driver’s door illuminated lock. In the past whenever the drivers or passengers door latched was lifted the door lock lights would illuminate as well all the interior lights as they are supposed to. However now when I lift the driver’s door handle all the interior lights and the passenger lock light-up but not the drivers door lock light will not. It flickered a bit once when I lifted the handle but it will illuminate when the door is opener up. The connector in the door looks fine. Anyone have any thoughts?

the lock lamp is probably busted. Rip off the door panel and try to jump power to it if still nothing replace it. Don't as me with what though. lol I am just reading out of my EVTM manual.~David~

According to my 91 EVTM, the lock lamp is an LED. However, I don't know if this is the case for an 83.91 Mercury CP, Lopo 302, AOD, 3.08LSD. 3g upgrade, Moog wagon coils up front, cc819s in the back.

There is a connector somewhere inside the door that feeds the lamp. Maybe its gotten wet and the connector corroded? Could also be the bulb let go, not a clue how to replace it though,86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Thank you for the great ideas. The drivers door lock light DOES light only when the door is opened but not when either of the door handles are lifted. The passenger door lock light however works perfectly when EITHER door handle is lifted. The connector in the door seems clean.Comment

I have the same exact problem as you. If you find out what the exact problem is please post it up.~David~

ah, thats a different issue.. In the door latch, there should be a switch to trip the light on when the handle is lifted. Probably that switch has failed. Look on the side of the latch assembly to see if there is a wire plugged into it. Thats the switch. Not quite sure if thats replaceable or how to do it though. Probably have to pull the latch out of the door completely to get at it.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

If your lucky it'll be the contacts on the handle switch, but from that description it sounds like a broken wire near where the door hinges.
