How To Make Interior Lights Turn On When The Door Opens (Solved)

How To Make Interior Lights Turn On When The Door Opens (Solved). In this video tutorial I will show you how to make interior lights turn on when the door open. Here is how to do it: 1. Check the Light Switch First Start by locating your car’s interior light switch, which is usually on the dashboard or overhead console. Most cars have three settings for the switch: "On," "Off," and "Door." If it’s set to "On," the lights will stay on. Set to "Off," the lights remain off. For the lights to turn on when you open the door, switch it to "Door." This setting should make the lights come on automatically whenever a door is opened. 2. Inspect the Door Sensor If the switch is already set to "Door" but the lights still aren’t working, the door sensor might be the problem. This sensor detects when a door is open and triggers the lights. It’s usually a small button or pin in the door frame near the hinge or latch. To test it: • With the door open, press the sensor manually. The lights should turn off when the sensor is pressed and turn back on when released. • Make sure the sensor isn’t dirty, stuck, or misaligned. A quick clean or adjustment can often fix the issue. If it’s damaged, you might need to replace it. If these easy fixes don’t work, you might have a deeper electrical issue. Locate the door trigger wires from your vehicle’s manual and use a splice connector or solder to connect the wire securely. If you’re unsure about dealing with electrical components, it’s best to consult a professional.
