Which is driving me mad !

Cannot get the interior lights to go off unless I really SLAM the door,

I have tried to grease everything I can - and I don't really want to slacken
off the floor keep/pin thing it locks into , in case the door rattles when
driving.

Anyone else had similar problems/advice ?

Any help greatly appreciated.

What freakin year?

And does it have a pillar switch? pull out on it .. it extends and self
adjusts when you close the door.

If it still doesnt turn off lights, it's broke

If you also have "door ajar" and car is mid-late nineties or newer... spray
lots wd-40 into door latching mech and work it.

OOPs sorry..

2001 model.

Don't know what a pillar switch is - although there are 2 (looks
like )power sockets on the left hand side close to the floor ?

Thanks,

Jim

VERY frustrating.

Just so you understand, the WD 40 is to DISSOLVE dried grease deposits in
the latch-switch..

I wonder if someone didnt recently slim-jim that door? Is that possible?
