the delta force 0 Posted February 17, 2009 Hello, The interior light does not come on when one or both doors are opened on my girlfriends VR. It will work when manually switched on, but when set to come on when the doors are opened it will not illuminate. Any help appreciated...

vwdeviant 0 Posted February 17, 2009 I got this too! Watching with interest! Stefan, do both pins have their rubber grommets? and are connected in the A-pillar? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the delta force 0 Posted February 17, 2009 Yes to both as far as I am aware, I got this too! Watching with interest! Stefan, do both pins have their rubber grommets? and are connected in the A-pillar? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
renson 0 Posted February 18, 2009 I had this with the passenger door, I think that the little switches at the bottom of the door are 'Earth Switches' and over time they corrode and get a bad contact. I took the switch out (1 Screw i think) cleaned all the contact areas up and it has been fine ever since. Hope this helps, if not then i've only wasted about 20 mins of your time if you clean the switches. :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the delta force 0 Posted February 18, 2009 Thanks renson, I'm sure I can manage 20mins. I'll let you know if it takes any longer :grin: I had this with the passenger door, I think that the little switches at the bottom of the door are 'Earth Switches' and over time they corrode and get a bad contact.

vwdeviant 0 Posted February 19, 2009 Stefan, when you do this if you have the drivers side out can you please note which wire's connected where? I have 2 dangling in mine and neither seem to work! Cheers! Oh and PS if you're at the Missus' this Sunday pop both cars over to the Swan, Pimlico for lunch? About 1pm will do it! ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the delta force 0 Posted August 8, 2009 Just read your post. I removed the switch and cleaned the connectors. Seems fine now. Any joy? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
