The wiring's probably missing from the body looms

And running cable from the door to inside the car through that fixed gland is a mission and a half!! Mind you, you'd only need to take a feed from the switched side of the courtesy light switch next to the door hinge.mjb wrote:The wiring's probably missing from the body looms

It sounds like the wiring exists inside the doors, presumably it's missing in the car thoughmadbaggie28 wrote:...i pluged in the white plug into the light on all four doors

Re: courtsey lights in door cards please help
I wonder if it's the old BSi again.....
Has it got elec rear windows? ....yes
Has it got climate control?....yes
Has it got courtesy lights in the door cards?....no
Maybe follow the wiring back? if it goes into the BSi (near steering column) then the BSi will have to be told to switch the lights on (dealer software).
