Hrmm my door sensor the thingy that turns the interior light on when you open the door doesnt work... first the driver door now the passenger was wondering if it maybe the switch (on the dome light) or the pushy thingy on the door its funny that they both went at almost the same time??? Any Ideas?<p>[ May 04, 2003: Message edited by: keetonFXY ]</p>

giggle the pushy thingy...that what i did to fix mine
jasno

that worked for abit now they dont work at all

your switches are worn... if lights are important to you go get new switches

well we all know that if something isnt right we stay up all night f&*&ing with it and until it works or i can repair it im gonna be stressin LOL i wish i new where the disconnected and more about how they work damnit hha

they're a basic design...<p>the pin slides out and grounds on the body completing the circuit which turns on the lights, your problem may be a few things.... 1: the grounding point on the body is rusted and the switch can't get a good connection point or 2: the power connection on the end of the switch is corroded and the wire broke off. take them out and see which one it is. the reason i said go buy new switches is because the wires usually corrode before the ground point rusts.

yeah they look pretty green anyway to clean them up the only problem i see is disconnecting the switch from the wire?? do i cut or how do they come off??

If you don't feel like tracing it back to its source then cut it and splice it back in with the new switch. But that is assuming the problem lies in the switch and not in the wires you would be following back. Oh, nevermind, just trace them back...
