Dash door light indicator
When I open my doors the indicator light on the dash does not light up. Because of this, the alarm does not know when a door is opened. What should I do?

I'd check to see if the sensor at the door itself is stuck.

Actually, when the door is open, the inside light doesn't light up either . I pressed the 'door' button above the rear view mirror and nothing happens. Is it a fuse or a relay? Where are they located?

Does the passenger side indicator work? Does the dome light come on when you hit the "roof" button?
These door sensors, are they magnetic? I don't see a switch like any other reasonable car LOL

The switch is a part of the latch mechanism. You need to take the door apart to check it out.

It could probably get cleaned out with some contact cleaner??? I think, I have one out of a door, I'll get a picture if I do...

Thanks. Near as I could tell from a parts diagram, the switch isn't sold separately, and the latch assembly is $100+. I'll definitely zap it with some CRC before springing for a new part.
