Stupid Dome Light Sensors

[ebayfish]

All my dome light sensors work except the only one that's constantly used. I grabbed 2 new sensors from the junk yard today, both with rubber still intact. I tried both sensors & still no dome light when the driver door is open.besides the sensor itself, is there a common place when this becomes unplugged/fails? The door ajar light does not come on with for that one door.

The switch grounds to the sheet metal of the door jamb IIRC, so I would start by checking that the bolt hole is clean. If that doesn't do it, jumper from the switch connector to body ground to rule out a problem with the switch itself. If neither of those do it, well, you're gonna have to pull the pillar trim and figure out where that wire's come loose.

Check to see if a wire pulled out of the plug for the sensor. That's what happened to mine.
