Afternoon all. I'm having a bit of bother with my internal cabin light and door edge lights.
Obviously when you open the door they go on and go off again when you close the door. The problem I'm having is when I close the passenger door the light stay on 99% of the time only occasionally going off. If I press the switch inside the door jamb on the car the lights go off no problem. I've wet the end of the switch to ensure it's making contact with the door hinge when I close the door which it is.
When I press the switch manually the light only goes off at the far end of it's travel ie when it's pushed all the way in which I think may be the issue. Is there any chance that one of you 348 or 355 owners (it's the same part) could open your door so the internal light goes on and manually press the switch in the door jamb to see how much travel it takes for the internal light to go out. Does it go out with a bit of travel, half way, almost all the way in required? Cheers.
I've had the switch out of the car and taken it apart, it's a pretty simple item so can't really see where it's going wrong.
For now I've pulled the fuse to avoid battery drain but have obviously lost my headlight day flashers in the process. Why they chose to put these 2 systems on the same fuse is beyond me. There again, why they wired most of these cars the way they did is a bit beyond me as well.........
