Sometimes when I close the door the interior lights dont go out, on further investigation it seems that the relay at the bottom of the driver side kick panel is'nt switching them off every time. Does anyone know if this part can be repaired or replaced, I had a look at it but cant figure out how to remove it. It seems to be O.K. for now but I think it mite be on its way out, any help really appreciated ?

As sure as I can be, I unplugged the wires and used a live tester and it did the same thing and I can hear something clicking when the lights do go out and when theres no click they stay on ?

To disconnect unit: Unplug the relay, find a plug and socket with a single brown/purple wire behind the driver's speaker. Pull this pair apart, pull the brown/yellow wire off the driver's doorswitch and replace it with the brown/purple. Don't connect the now two spare wires to anything.
