rear door open, no lights on inside

anyone has a clue about why the interior lights stay off when I open the left rear door? also, when I start the engine and the same door is open, no warning appears on the dashboard? is there a switch somewhere in the door that could be damaged? could it be changed? thanks.

Yes it is,sorry.Often just undoing it (twist) & doing it up again will cure fault,if not then it looks like door panel off time.

10x mate; found it, fiddled with it, works now...

but, are you sure you have to twist this one to remove it? or is that only for the front door connector? because the rear one had a plastic bit which needed sliding up a little, and then it looked like it could get disconnected; however I did not force it, I was afraid not to break it.

Re: rear door open, no lights on inside

...it was good stuff, until 2007 came... :-\ not working again, fiddled again with the connector, no luck this time; would it help using some electronics cleaning spray stuff on the male and female connectors of the door?

You can try,there might be a open/damaged terminal in the connector.Have a look to see if there is anything obvious.

Luckily for you 2007 only killed your door. 2007 stopped my car.
