Driver's side door opening will not turn on dome light. other doors opening will turn on dome light. key in ignition bell does not work when driver's door is open

You have a lot going on there.possibly the lighting control module but only a guess without further diagnosis. Take it to a reputable garage that deals with electric concerns a lot..but they may tell you to bring to deal

Check for corroded wire connector kick pad driver side clean wire try this or change the connector

BMW and Mercedes had the same problem. They changed the type of grease used to assemble the door latch mechanism.

WD40 Squirted into the lock area often does the trick.

Roll down the window and aim nozzle/straw at interior latch mechanism.

Put WD40 straw into key hole and squirt .

The body control module controls the door functions, have this checked.

Sounds silly but this is how i fixed my bell ringing. !st the ringing is the alarm when you open the door and the key is in the ignition or the car is running. I found the push switches that are on the side of the car and are operated when the door is shut have become loose. All you need to do is tighten them up a bit and the bell ringing will stop. When you make your right turn you probably push a bit on the door and that helps open the switch more. The switches are the contact switches that turn on the light as well as the warning sensors for open door. See if your dome lights flicker a bit as well.

You need a door pin switch in the drivers door. It must have gone bad, and this is very common. Usually it is hard to find out what door it is that is causing it, but in your case with the dinging bell- it thinks the drivers door is open- thast why the dome light stays on. The door pin switch is a little sensor that is installed on the latch assembly with a wire going to it and it is supposed to sence if the door is open or closed and turn the dome light on/off. you have to remove the door pannel and reach back to the latch. They are VERY tricky to get out without taking the whole latch assembly out. The part shouldnt be that expensive though.

my dome light wont turn on at all and i dont know where the fuse is iv checked all my fuses and there fine could it be a capasiter

When you open the driver door does the little light in the door panel come on. Or do you notice if the dome light comes on when set to door open setting? If it's a gli it has electric door locks and remote. If they don't come on with the door open the door is not sensing being opened by the microswitches in the latch. When you unlock the door with the remote and open the door without putting your key in the ignition the doors probally will relock (just make sure the key isn't in the car alone) about 15 seconds later. A normal effect as safety when the door isn't opened the car will relock. If this is the situation you can start by checking the wiring in the accordian between the door and frame for cut wires and the connections in the kick panel behind the hood release, but 99% of the time it is a defective latch.

the switch that shuts off the dome light and chime is part of the door latch and is broken
