Got really annoying issue. My car locks unlocks all ok interior lights work and dim in very short time though ill add.
Problem is
1.i have no red warning on display panel the one where it shows a car with a door open surley mine should have this?
2nd issue maybe related to 1. My drivers door puddle light doesnt work. The interior lights dont work when drivers door is opened neither does the above red indicator. The door also self locks the car as the car doesnt think door open.
Checked bulb and swapped puddle lights but no different.
Mine a 2001 mk4

Sounds like drivers door module to me.
-
Possibly bad solder joins at the door module as above. It's a bit of a mare you have to take everything out from the door but its simple enough.
Have a search mate, there are a few guides kicking about on the various forums.

It's also worth noting that the micro-switches can also fail. Mine broke so I re-soldered it, but it didn't solve it :angry:

Ok peeps but can anyone comfirm does or should my car have a light with a car picture eith a door open on it?
-
mine doesnt, only a car symbol with the boot open
-
Open your passengers door and see if a car picture comes on the dash,if it does then it will be the same with the drivers door. That's assuming your passenger door module is working.
-
No light with passenger door open just interior lights come on etc. Cant believe the car wouldnt have summit basic like that

Mine does this............ The puddle lights dont work on either side but all my other interior lights work fine, Blubs are fine :undecided: Plus it doesn't turn on the interior lights when i open the drivers door but does with the other doors oh and it only makes that warning sound that my lights are on if the drivers door is slightly open (about half an inch) but if i open it normally don't get anything :undecided: done this not long after owning it (hope that makes sense :laugh: )

And again....it will be the door module!
Anyone else have the same problem? Guess what will be causing it....
Come on, have a guess.........
That's right! A faulty door module or two!! :rolleyes:

Here's the link to the diy, had to do this for 3 of my door modules. I had faults ranging from the puddle lights not working to the car unlocking and locking itself randomly.
