Possible Location of '84 Vette TimerWhen I tap the underside of my dash, to the left of the glovebox area, near the small interior light, my interior lights timer module will work and the lights will come on. Also, if you trace the schematic, you will see that the circuit is #40 and the wire is orange. This circuit #40 will lead you right to this spot. I am quite certain that the delay timer is located in this position underneath the dash, but I am not 100% positive. The delay timer is not shown anywhere in the shop manual! I do have to hit the underside of the dash quite hard to get my interior lights to work and the timer to function. So I plan to replace this timer soon or repair the short. I still believe the best bet is the location I have specified (passenger side - left end). A good Chevy service manager, mechanic, or parts center should be able to tell you the exact location. So that may be my first step before taking apart the dash. But, in my case, I do have a problem in this exact location. By the way, finding an answer to this question does appear to be extremely difficult. Be sure to verify my advice with a qualified technician before taking apart your dash underside. I could be wrong. I may just have a loose ground or broken wire, but I doubt it. AnswerThe delay timer module is accessed by removing the lower instrument panel on the passenger side. That's the panel on the passenger side that has the light mounted on it. Then you have to reach up and find the main wiring harness. The module is taped to the harness with masking tape. Break the tape and the module can be lowered down just far enough to unplug it. It's black and will have 3 white wires, a black, a pink/white and a pink/black wire on a 5-pin connector.

The timer was long ago discontinued by GM. I has only been recently reproduced and runs around $120 (Oct 2008). The timer function can be easily bypassed at the connector. Remove the Timer Module. If you place a jumper wire in the connector at the outermost pin (WHITE wire) and the second pin from the other end (also WHITE wire) the interior lights will simply shut off when the doors are closed.
