Hello!!!

I have a problem again!!! My lights don't go on when the driver's side door is open. However, they do go on when the remote entry is activated and when any other door is opened??!!! Please help me to figure out what I can do to fix this problem ... it just happened within the past day or so. It's not like it's been an ongoing session. Someone please help me!!! This is really bothering me!!!

Check the door jamb switch by operating it by hand with door open. It's held in place by one screw if you want to take it out to clean/replace.

Where is the door jamb switch located? And how do I go about getting to it? I have a Repair Manual ... will I be able to locate it in there?

Just look at the door jamb. The switch is a small black oval with a black plastic pin sticking out, held in by one screw. It is in the front of the door jamb, near the bottom.

Take the screw (Philips) out, fish out the switch, the wire unplugs. Clean up the metal base with some sandpaper, scotch-brite, small wire brush, or what ever. Clean the door jamb are under the switch, clean the screw. Put a little white grease (or corrosion preventitave of your choice) and reassemble in reverse order. Light will work right for at least 6 more months. then, just do it again
