Courtesy Lights Staying On

Post by bestservedchilled »

Hi

Just joined the forum and hope to contribute one day. My present problem is a really annoying one.... :evil:

One of the rear doors keeps switching on the courtesy lights. If I slam it, it's OK. But sometimes if another door is slammed, the switch on the faulty one activates. Problem is, I can't find the switch!!!! Now my driver's door is beginmning to do the same thing.

Please help!

Seems to me the sensors in the door jam. These will unscrew and you can move them a bit with a big phillips head screw driver. That's what I would do first.
