    How much did all the lights set you back? If you don't mind me asking. Also I reckon you should do some sort of install thread.

    Slowly installed new tie-rods, front lower control arm bushings and rear adjustable control arms over the last couple of weeks, with the help of some good mates. She's down getting a wheel alignment at the moment. Can't wait to get her back, will feel like a new car!

    I have pulled out the lock before and checked all the solders etc but found nothing.

    I started to believe that the problem was the micro switch that indicates the door is open or not.

    After reading lots of threads I found people were getting new micro switches from radio shack and retrofitting them.
    Someone else had solved their problem by simply cleaning the microswitch !

    I did this - used about 1/2 a can of brake cleaner, it was running out the bottom of the door - Yes the car smells



    This mammoth thread has lots of info and detailed pics of the locks,

    And this thread gets to the point very quickly on page 2

    Seriously get some contact cleaner and give it a go before pulling apart the whole door.

    Mine carked it as well. Managed to fix it using a mix between a new and old switch in the end as the new one was too big. Turned out to be the plunger ruined though.
