Interior 'doors open' lights not functioning
« on: January 07, 2015, 07:54:42 am »
Is there a way to replace the interior light switch instead of the whole unit? My lights work, but only when in the 'in' position, when in doors open, you have to push the switch to get them to work. Maybe a loose connection? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I can get the lights to work when I put pressure on the button in the 'doors open' position, and functions correctly when opening and closing the doors? Think the switch has had it!

It's worth looking at the switch first. The unit is easy to remove as the trim just pops out and you only need to remove the 2 torx screws. You'll be able to see the rocker switch then and see if the 2 legs are making contact (mine were'nt). I think you have buy the unit otherwise.....

I'll try and find a removal link.
