Default Door sensors...

So i just finished building my 91 Si and for some reason my door sensors are EXTRA screwed up... to start the interior light only comes on when the pasenger door opens. then the beeper to let you know your keys are in the ignition also comes on only on the passenger door. (is that suposed to happen at all?) and lastly... the drivers side door sensor must be working because when the door is open... my seatbelt light come on. This beats bthe hell out of me, any help is mucho appreciated!

Did the car do this before? Probably not, so obviously you did some wiring right? What all did you wire in?


Re-check your wiring to see where you messed up. Thats probably the only help anyone on here can give you till you provide more information.

You may have to take off the switch and clean it up. If it's not getting a good ground, it won't trigger the door light.

Push the switch back, you'll see a single screw. Remove that and you can slide the whole switch out of the door jamb.

I had to clean my drivers door switch up, I used P.B. Blaster on it and really wiped it down...If I played with the door switch my dome light would go off, then be bright and then go dim. Also spray a little shot of WD-40 or P.B. Blaster on the threads that the screw goes into, the switch grounds itself to the chassis with those threads...

Oh ya duh.


You may just want to replace the door switches, after time they start to get warn out.
