Default door pillar switch

Well would you believe it!? Not having much to do (thanks to covid) I removed one of the switches and found the screw was badly rusted. I replaced it with a stainless steel one and the lights work beautifully! I then did the same to the other switches having found enough screws in my garage 'box of bits. Thanks, Dave, for giving me the impetus to have a go - it worked. This forum is so useful!

Glad you got it sorted Derek!

If you get some silicone grease, remove the screw and put some on the threads that will help the door pillar to not rust as well.
