Door Sensor for Interior Lighting

Hello everyone!

'Since the day before yesterday, I've been having a problem with the interior light (in the rear door on the driver's side) of my car - a Passat, manufactured in 07/97, with an AHU engine - turning on by itself.'
It's unpleasant for me because it also triggers the alarm system.
I've already searched the inside of the door for a switch, but I haven't found one!
Does anyone know where the door contact switches are located and how to access them?

Sure, here's the translation:

'Thank you in advance!'

Regards,

Andreas.

Hi Andreas,

The contact is integrated into the door lock.

Hello Tobias!

Thank you for the information!
I had a feeling like that too...
I suspect that's going to involve a lot of work for me, like removing door panels, etc.
Well, let's see, hopefully it will help!

Best regards from Hamburg.

Hi Andreas,

'Yeah... this is quite stressful... especially you have to make sure your glass panel doesn't come loose.'

Otherwise, just install a new lock and that should be it (unless Murphy's Law applies) .
