Check on door jam the switches asvthis can be a problem
It could even be the interior light it self

switches are fine and operate the lights in the doors

Dismantle the roof light, and clean the contacts. Had similar issues with mine.

break in the wire or knackered switch

balls...tis what i thought....

but then i ran a wire from the door switch to the light and nothing...ive dismantled the switch totally and its construction is so that any break would be obvious??

would the door switch provide the necessary signal?

am i rite in thinking that the light operates on a a double negative switch??

if all else fails anyone got a wiring diagram??

Have you taken off the switches that are attached to the door jamb and cleaned them?
They can get gunked up!!

Another thought, are the switches in the unit in the 'on' position?

switches are spotless...and operate the red lights in the door panels...
