Afternoon all.
Just noticed last week that the interior light in my car has stopped working when i open the drivers door (works ok passenger side).

Couldnt see a door switch.
Is it all connected to the catch mechanism in the door?
I fitted an ebay special in there a month or so ago.
Could hat be faulty?

Cheers Rich

It could be the window motor as the control module is in the window motor plug

Lol I don’t blame you but no need to take the metal part off just unplug it and plug in one from somewhere else and see if the door light works

Window regulator motors very rarely fail, in fact they're basically worthless as no-one ever asks for them unless upgrading to electric folding mirrors.
By all means test it with another one to rule it out if you have another spare to hand but my money is on the locking mechanism.

lancashire.
i,ve had two genuine drivers locks go on me and i sourced aftermarket microswitch's and they fit in perfect you'd think they made the ordinals, this sorted both locks also replaced the main 8 pin plug as it would not lock and seal as i use to tie rap it, how you break that plug is beyond me.
