My car doesn't switch the interior lights on when either of the front doors are open (opening the rear doors puts the lights on just fine). Also you can't move the electric windows with the key out and the front doors open. Does anyone know what this might be?
Cheers

The door switches are either knackered or just need a good clean.
A single Phillips screw to take them off.

Hi might be a good idea to disconnect bat. or take fuse out incase you blow something when taking switch out.

I think the worst that would happen would be a fuse might blow...

No fuses will blow! All that will happen is the interior lights might flash a bit and a relay at the back of the glovebox might click.
