Interior light..

Is The interior above head light supposed to come on when u open your door, or is mine just f*cked up?

mine has a switch so you can make it come on when the door opens or not, if yours has the switch it could be just the switch is bad

yeh mine has a switch, and ive tied it in evry direction. It only comes on when i flick it. So it must cause sumpins screwd. thnx

LOL..i got a good mental picture their...open car door, sit down...WHACK.... let there be light

haha, yeh, thats pretty much it. it kinda sux getting into a car where u cant see sh*t

yeah it definetly sucks not having interior light

ok i have the same problem and i found out what it was....on the place where the door closes on the car not the door thier is this little black spring loaded thing and mine broke and now my light doesnt work when i oopen the door thats what it is in my case

take the bulb out and clean the contacts...........that might help or take the door pin out and check that connection, its easy

how do you make the light brighter

get a different bulb

mine doesnt work either. it really pisses me off cuz i cant see anything at night. It turns on when i put it to the on position but doesnt turn on when i open the door. So, its definitly not the bulb, ill have to pole around with the black springy door sensor thing tomorrow. Ill tell you if i find anything...

OK, i found the problem, The latch thing is getting kinda rusty where the connecter grounds out to turn the light on, so all i did was scrape away the rust and slapped sum wd-40 or sumpin, and bent the tracks that the latch slid along, and now it works great! I had to do this to both driver and passenger sides. And yes im sure that the CX and STD are the exact same thing. Cause mine is just that, STD. no options on it.

yea, i did the exact same thing that fiercecivic did today too. It works perfect now. just use a file or my dremel tool worked great to get all the rusy off of the metal connectors. then lube it up and make sure that the track is tight enough to keep it moving straight, so its not wobbly and loose. plug it back in and screw it back on and it should work. And like fiercecivic said, you gotta make sure you do both doors.
