My map/reading lights work with the switches, but not when either door opens. Door switches are fine. Interior light fuse in engine bay is fine.

Found a couple of other people with same problem who've never found a fix. Anyone got any ideas? Would be big help!

check the wiring for the door relay....
apart from that no other ideas

If you leave a door open does the "open door" light in the dash work?

I was mucking around with the interior lights today and I blew a fuse (I hope) and now that light doesn't come on anymore (nor does my stereo ).

For some reason when my 'interior light' fuse blew my radio stopped working..... Have now idea why. When i replaced it, radio and lights started working again. Just this time not when doors open.

When i open the doors and key is in ignition the buzzer sounds, and ignition-key light works - so not the door switch.

the fuse for the remote and interiour lights are the same, have you checked all fuses, and the fuses under the steering wheel ?

yup - checked every fuse by hand. Looking at wiring diagrams to try and make some sence of them, but bit heavy going!

yey! - got them working!

Instead of hunting for the burnt out circuit, i simply ran a wire from the door-switches to the maplight neg-wire.

Remove the plastic pillar trim next to the front windscreen on the drivers side - and behind it are the map light wires coming down from the roof. There's a red, black, green, and green/yellow wire.

I spliced a wire into the green/yellow, and took it down underneath the dash - where i then took it to both the door switches.

The door switch wire on the drivers side can be found by taking off the kick plate, and un-clipping the carpet. behind the drivers seat, in-line with the door switch, you'll find 2 wires. It's the yellow u want.

Same for passenger side, but only one wire to choose from.

All i needed was wire, tape, and some wire cutters. 40min job. Might want to unhook battery so as not to waste any more fuses...
