Interior light
My courtesy light now only works when the driver's door is opened, I'm sure it should work when any of the doors open, I've looked for the little pin switches like I used to have on my Minis, but can't find them, anybody know why they've packed up and how to sort them?

I can't remember if when you open the rear doors the interior light came on? I know it doesn't now.

When you find the switches take them out and make sure that the light comes on if you ground the lead, if they do it is the switch, clean up the contacts and test. If they don't it is something more serious.
