I checked the push button that is under the door hinge and am able to push it in and out.

The light does come on when I open the passenger door. I would not have thought to try that.

Guess I'm going to have to go to the dealer and get the switch replaced on the driver's side.



NOOOOOOO!!!! STOP!!!! DO NOT PAY THE DEALER TO REPLACE THAT PART!!!!

Sorry to yell, but it's a phillips head screwdriver and about 3 seconds to remove it. Take the screwdriver to the parts department with you, remove it in the parking lot (remove screw, take switch assembly in hand, and remove wire connector), go in and get a replacement, and install it in the parking lot. Seriously, you don't want to pay the minimum shop rate for that job.

Or, if you're a cheap SOB as I am, just swap the driver's and passenger's side switches.
