Neil,

I've moved your question from New Member Area - Intro a MUST section to the X308 section. Members here with the same model will be able to help with the interior lights issue.

The schematic for the interior lights may help here:


The lights are controlled by the BPM (Body Processor Module), individual Door Modules and Door Switches.

Intermittent operation with the doors closed suggests a short in the harness or a switch fault. Can anyone confirm whether the switches are part of the Door Latch assembly?

Here is a photo of the driver front door lock actuator - door microswitch is part of it - wires are attached to the microswitch (click on photo image to see larger image):

Where can you get parts for door lock actuator or switches? Mine looks like VDO VT-ZV SCH 0133.6. Not in VDO website. Not anywhere I can find?
