Hey guys, my dome light will not come on when I open the drivers side door. Works fine on passenger side. Also the radio will not go off when I open the door. Works fine on passenger side. Any idea whats up?

The switch in the driver's side door latch is not operating properly. It either needs to be cleaned, adjusted or replaced.

Is there anyway I can adjust it?

WhiteBird00 knows more about it. Maybe he'll chime in here, or you can PM him. I haven't had to work on mine yet.

The door switch is mounted to the door latch mechanism (unlike older models that had pin switches in the door jamb). There is a small amount of adjustment with the mounting screws but that usually isn't the problem. More often the problem is that the switch is gummed up with road grime. A good shot of spray contact cleaner from Radio Shack (TV tuner cleaner will work as well) will usually take care of it.

That part I knew (from a previous post of yours). What I'm unsure on is how/where? Is it obvious where the switch is in the latch (I know where the latch is)? Is there a diagram somewhere?

Im not sure. I'll take a look at it more and try to clean it out. Thank you.
