door light switch - quick Q
Door light switch in the last few hours has decided it dosent want to work anymore, i already dislike having the door open just to keep the lights on for finding the ignition, but it wont switch the lights on now!
Is it just a case of, unscrew, take off jumper plugs and clean the contacts? Or is it replacement? Cheers Andrew

thanks for your reply jeff, I have checked this, but the ring around my ignition barrel goes out with the rest of the interior lights - as soon as the door is shut.
i read somewhere that theres a relay or something unter the drivers dash, i will have a look when i can get round to it ill let you know if i find it. ill also let you know if the escort switch works.

Ok, its not the door switch, its the wires, i forced a connection, and it failed to light the roof light., the switch i tested with a multimeter, that works as it should. The wires are probably fubared or a relay has gone tits on a terminal. Great.

Still havent gotten to the bottom of this problem, however I have noticed the dash detects when the door is open, and the buzzer is active when the lights are left on and the door opened.
