Image 1 (Before): The diagram shows a basic car interior lighting setup without a delay module. A 12V battery is connected directly to the dome light, which has three switches: "ON," "DOORS," and "OFF." The dome light is connected to four door switches in parallel, which are grounded. When any door is opened, the dome light receives a signal and turns on immediately. The circuit lacks any delay feature, so the light turns off immediately when the doors close.

User Guide: Dome Light Delay Module for Older Cars

This module is designed to replicate the modern car feature where the interior dome light stays on for 1-25 seconds after the door is closed. It is ideal for older cars that lack this functionality.

Features:

  • Automatic Light Control:
    When the door opens, the light switches on. After the door closes, the light remains on for the set delay (1-25 seconds) before turning off.
  • Compatible Lighting:
    Can be used with both LED and incandescent lights up to 1A (12 watts).
  • Negative Door Switching:
    Only works with cars that have a negative door switching signal. Please refer to the wiring diagram.
  • LED Indicator:
    Displays the operation status.
  • Maximum Load:
    Controls lights up to 12V/1A. Load can be extended to 1.5A with a heat sink.
  • Power Supply:
    12V DC with reverse supply voltage protection.
  • Adjustable Time Delay:
    Set the delay from 1 to 25 seconds using the 100K trimmer. Rotate clockwise to increase the time.

Wiring Instructions:

  1. Identify the Dome Light Wiring:

    • In the dome light assembly, locate the three connectors:
      • One goes to the ground.
      • One connects to the battery directly.
      • The third is connected to the door switches (which are parallel and directly grounded).
  2. Cut the Door Switch Wire:

    • Cut the wire going to the door switches and proceed with the following connections.
  3. Wiring the Module:

    • Red Wire: Connect to positive (+).
    • Black Wire: Connect to negative (-).
    • Blue Wire: Connect to the door switch terminal of the dome light.
    • White Wire: Connect to the cut door switch wire.
  4. Safety Precaution:
    Connect the red wire via a 3A fuse for added protection.

Operation:

  • Power Cycle:
    When first connected, the module will run through a cycle without activation. After this initial cycle, the module is ready to use.
  • Normal Use:
    When a door is opened, the dome light will turn on. After the door is closed, the light will stay on for the preset delay and then turn off automatically.

Additional Notes:

  • Ensure correct wiring for proper operation.
  • For cars with more than 1A lighting loads, a heat sink or external relay may be required to avoid overheating.

This Dome Light Delay Module enhances the comfort and convenience of older vehicles, providing a modern lighting experience.
