dome light door switch failed!

[gtex]

My drivers door was starting to sag. thanks to this site I decided I better nip it in the bud before it did more damage. I used a floor jack, a small piece of lumber and did it myself without much fuss. While I was tinkering on the car, I decided to try and fix the dome light that only came on for the barely opened door, then shut off when the door was more open.


I tugged on the wire-loom that was going into the door, and the light would go in and out. but now, I got nothin. door barely open or fully open.. nothing at the dome lights.

any suggestions?

Those wires in the door that bend every time the door is opened and closed: they get very brittle over time. Track down which wire is for what, cut and solder in fresh wire.
