My dome light won't turn on when I open drivers door. Works fine from passenger door. Also radio won't turn off when driver's door opened. works fine with passenger door. Suspect a bad door switch but can't locate it. Computer system knows when driver door is opened. Any Ideas?

The door switch is usually located in the door lock mechanism, you will most likely need to remove the door panel to get access to it...

 

Thanks for the info. I located it and resolved the problem.

 

What did the problem turn out to be?

 

The problem was the grease in the door latch mechanism. It was old and had gotten stiff. Thus the switch would not fully engage when the handle was pulled. if you pushed it to its full open position the light would come on. A little light oil loosened up the grease and it works great.

 

Thank you for the follow-up.
It is very important for the members to find out what brought things to a satisfactory conclusion.
Well done !
