Since I bought my car the driver side door light in the door wont come on , but also the buzzer doesnt sound when the lights are on , AND the interior light doesnt come on when this door is opened ......???

can anyone help me on this i dont know where to start ...is there a sensor somewhere for the door?....

Most likely to be a faulty microswitch within the locking mechanism on the drivers door.... There are 3 microswitches, sometimes a dryjoint (solder) is the problem, otherwise the switch itself might have failed. There are a few guides on here, and also else where on the internet covering this. Sure someone else will be along soon with a link!

I would expect the red LED in the top of the door (near to the lock pin thing) does not flash either when the car is locked?

no the led doesnt seem to work now but not sure if that is just the guy who did my tinted windows not plugging it back in ? cos sure it worked before

yeah could do with some guides then know what to look for or parts to get?

cheers
