door open sensor

[eclipsegsx1736]

I cant find the door open sensor switch. The driver side door doesnt trigger the interior lights, so I believe the switch is stuck. Can anyone snap a quick pic of where it is? It would be greatly appreciated. I tried looking for it quickly and didnt see it.

It's on the back side of the door opening of the body. . Where the door and the body meet. It's a little black button with rubber on it. It must be common because mine sticks all the time.

Mine don't even turn the craps on... I wish someone could give the part number and a quick how to on how to replace the things...

they have them over at machv.com in the oem replacement section. They are pretty easy to replace.

Lift rubber cover, remove phillips screw, extract switch, disconnect plug, reverse.
If it takes you 15 mins to change it, hang up your keys.

Drivers or passenger side eh?? So they're both the same??

*goes and scavenges parts car*

Same part both sides.

On a 2g there are two part number shown in my old version of CAPS. MR124302 and MR124303. What you need depends on your car.

Been there, done that. They usually last a couple of months before they start acting up again.
