I would get one at the junkyard. It is not listed on my favorite internet parts site, and I'd rather spend time looking through a lot full of discarded automobiles than stand at a dealer's parts counter.

But, since I posted last, I looked in the wiring diagram manual to think of a suggestion for bypassing the delay relay. It turns out, a dangling empty socket should not keep the courtesy lamp from working.

The green wire feeding the lamp should have battery voltage coming from fuse 8 - all the time. Try to prove that voltage is there, or make sure the switch on the lamp itself is making good contact, before going to the work of tracing the wiring.

Because someone pulled the relay, it sounds like you are following up after the PO gave up, and you may find the wire is pinched or shorted, or just fell off the fuse panel in back.

Anyhow, you've reminded me I have a wagon with a dead rear dome light that needs similar attention.
