QUOTE (SRSONE @ Oct 12 2009, 06:41 PM)  yes there is a sensor...
if i remember its built into the latch inside the door i think..
if not there is a button that sticks out of the door jamb and closing the door closes the switch Thanks hopefully i can try to find it. It would bother me if it didnt come on at all but ill turn on one side and then itll come on before i get out of my car and then i forget to turn the one back off thinking they will shut off when i get out and i keep killing my car ughhh =P

there is a door switch in the body where you close the door it will push the switch in, you'll see a little rubber cover on it, pull the cover out, should be screw hold it in, undo it, pull the whole switch out, may have alot of rust built up in it,you'll see should has like a spring thingy, as you push the spring in, the dome light goes out, as you release it, the light should come on, ( as like the door is open, it will create a ground so the light will come on) try to clean it with some emery cloth(sand paper) clean all the rust out, and around where it ground to the body, anyway, you got the idea right. after you clean it up, put it back in. hopefully it should be working, goodluck

It is on the door jam (on the side towards the rear of the car). You can't really miss it. It's a black rubber thing that sticks out like a sore thumb. Check that the wires are making good contact and there is no corrosion. If both of these check out, then it is time for a new swtich. I believe it is a dealer only item, so check out jnztuning.com. Will be cheapper than dealer, but the same part. If the new switch still doesn't work, then you have a problem with your wiring.
