Mine quit working to to the rivets and the plastic, so I replaced it with a round dome light from a camper. Works good now.

I put some conductive epoxy on the rivets on mine... Door switches still are a bit hit or miss.

Mine almost never works, even if I fiddle with the dome or door switchs. Every now and then, when Venus is in retro-grade and someone in the world somewhere has just butchered a chicken, I'll open my door and it'll work. No rhyme or reason and if I touch any of the switches, or close and reopen the door, it goes out. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> I've tightened the rivets on the light, cleaned the contacts, checked for voltage and replaced the bulb. Now I keep a hand crank led flashlight in the truck for when I need to see at night. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

Mine didn't work when I got it. I took the light itself off the ceiling and cleaned it before I noticed the PO had actually removed the switches off the doorframes. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> I ended up getting new ones from a Mitsu dealer. The driver's door switch is a "2-wire" and the other 3 are single wire switches. You can modify a 2-wire to make a single wire one.

Never had any trouble with the dome light, but the map lights suck. They usually work after wiggling the switches and turning them on/off 5 times. I'm sure I just need to clean the switch, but I don't use them enough to care.
