The main interior light does not light up when the door is open

[Denis Yuliyanov]

I recently noticed that when the driver's door is open, the door light comes on but the main light does not respond. Some time ago, the driver's door lock was giving me problems with the microswitch, but after cleaning and lubricating both lights worked. What could be the cause of this?

Are you sure that you haven't just knocked the switch into the wrong position? I've done that before, there are 3 positions. On/Off/Auto

Yes is in the correct position.Should lights up when the door is opened

If its not a faulty bulb or corroded terminal inside the map light it'll be down to a faulty door lock mechanism.

I thought it might be the door lock, specifically the microswitch. Some time ago, as I said, the lights did not respond either on the door or inside. Could this lock be causing the problem again even though the door light is on?

If all the other doors are ok, then like Thai said, it's quite likely. If you need a module then i'd recommend the 'Ridex' branded ones on autodoc.

You mean the comfort module or the door module (lock). Otherwise all other doors are fine.

Drivers door lock.

Comfort module is almost certainly OK, they very rarely fail.

But you can also just change the microswitch, it is cheaper but more difficult because you have to open apart the whole door lock.
