Here is a problem I have never come across before.

For a while I had always wondered why when people opened the back door, the interior lights never came on. Then I finally realized that it was just the passenger side rear, and I found the sensor (whatever it's called... the thing encased in rubber that gets pushed in when the door is shut. Anyone ever replace this part? If so, how much does it cost and is there wiring that could also be the culprit? Thanks guys

 

Courtesy Switch? Something like that......

I ordered once from Auto zone about twenty-something dollars. However it doesn't come with the rubber cover, only the switch itself. There is only one (maybe two, I could not remember) screw to hold it. Take that off and you can pull the wires out with it. Very easy to replace.

 

yea i did it with my old maxima ...its two screws and you have to kinda twist it.... and no your right it doesent come with the rubber cone (but you need the rubber cone)..and dont even go to autozone order if offline ....itle be so much cheaper and its not a part you need ASAP so you can wait till it comes in mail...
