Comments received for inoperative courtesy lights when either right or left front door is opened may be due to corroded door jamb switches. When this comment is received, the door jamb switches should be inspected for corrosion. If corrosion is present, the door jamb switch should be replaced and the areas shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3 inspected for water leaks. The illustrations will assist you in sealing the possible sources of water entry that will cause corrosion of the switch. Referring to Figures 1, 2 and 3, apply a medium bodied sealer to eliminate sealer gaps and water entry in the areas shown at the base of the "A" pillar. These areas are accessible by removing screws labeled No. 3 in Figure 4.
