Default Interior light comes on when taking hard left turns. 93 Del sol

Anyone have this problem? It seems like it happens everytime I take a left turn hard. Almost like the door is moving away from the switch and activating the light. Also if I hit hard bumps the light will go on. The door is closed and does not have any movement so I doubt it is that. Maybe a bad ground?

Any thoughts?

I would bet it is a bad ground somewhere. I have seen it happen with windshield wipers.

commom problem

when you make the turn, your door is slightly comming off the sensor in the doorjam, reason why it only happens one a left turn and not a right. It would be the passengers side.

oh yeah and SEARCH MOTHERFAWKER!!!!!!!!!!!!! j/p

Yeah I tried to search but did not know what to really put in for search terms. I will check out the screws. I figured it was something with the right door, IE only goes on with left turns.

I used to have the same problem. What I did was open the door and move the door latch in about a 1/4 of an inch. Problem solved.

Door triggers in Hondas are notorious for going bad....just replace it, or both...they're cheap!

Yup!!...mine did the same thing. I took off the rubber covers and put some paper in the tip for a temp fix. This is only like 13 bucks at the dealership. Just replace it.
