jalesi2001 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Your door pin switches probably, they are known to fail. About £10 each to replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jalesi2001 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 If you open your doors, just above (or below, cant remember!!) the door catch on the actual car, not on the door, there is a sliding switch. One for each door. Try replacing them first!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Yeah, they are pretty common fails mate. Its a sliding microswitch, and the contacts inside em wear down through time. Easy to replace though, 5 min job tops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 iirc the last of the rover 45's had the same switches, so you could maybe get some from the breakers yard off a late model, a little cheaper. Although saying that, £40 for the four and you wont ever need to replace them again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
