Cheers. I did try a multimeter on the terminals, and most of the combinations said 12V.  Don't think this is right... I'll take the switch apart and see if it looks bad.... I did test the two Earts of this switch to an earth, and were both connected. But, a lot of the others were too!?

Ok, the switch looked a little worn inside etc... Cleaned it up, put vaseline on it etc... It didn't really do anything except make the switch work nicely again!  :(

The terminals on the back all looked fine. Does anyone know where all the earths are?

i dont know but i suspect they go to the fusebox then earth off that with everything else to one of the main earth points in the car, there are various ones dotted around under the bonnet and around the dash and the left hand side of the boot

Cheers. I tested the earts for the two relays, and i got a connection between that and the screw for the door switch, so the earhs work fine. IIt could be a supply instead? Going to check the earth for the dip/flasher switch next
