    It is a bunch of diodes, indicated by the symbol on the translucent cover and subsequent inspection if you pull the cover off. It's purpose... no idea :p

    The diodes in EL-64 provide isolation between the 3 switched earths that can all operate the "room lamp relay". With out the diodes the actions would not be exclusive.

    The drivers side door switch also signals the "Time Control Unit", see EL-78 below for details.

    The passenger door just turns the room lamp relay on.

    The back door switch also turns the luggage room lamp on.

    With out the diodes all 3 switches would do all actions.

    cool thanks for that brisz. seeing as i don't have any door switches or interior lights anymore i might as well chop it out and store it away.
