I got my Hyundai Accent 1998 car that when I open the driver door ONLY the dome light doesn’t turn on. However when I have my headlights turn on and open the door a small alarm will turn on that I have my headlights turned on so my switch is working partially. How can i fix this problem please ?
Hi, Check that the driver’s door switch is not corroded. The switch is usually found behind a rubber boot in the door frame. You can push it in and out by hand and check if it seems to mechanically function OK. Some door switches rely on a rubber bung in the door to push them in when the door is closed Once you have removed the switch, if necessary, you can test it using an Ohmmeter to ensure that it has good electrical continuity through the switch when it is operated and not that it has a resistance value which may prevent the lamp from operating but not the dash light indicator. Remove the fuse for the dome light before removing the switch to prevent blowing the fuse accidentally when removing the switch.
