door switches are notoriously dodgy, my interior lights come on if i've been parked with the sun on the drivers door for a while, seems the heat makes the switch stick. have you got a pre or post facelift, the post facelift will light the open door indicator if it's the switch.

its a 99 facelift dave, the only open door that lights up on the dis is the rear one cant see any visible swithches for the doors, how does the interior light work does it work electrically thru the door latch?

there's a switch hidden in the lock mechanism
