Escort Van 2001 Interior Light & Headlight Warning Buzzer Problems

Hi Guys & Gals,

I have a problem with my Ford Escort Van 2001 Model.

I had my lights warning buzzer working a treat along with the interior light upon opening the doors. I shorted out the interior light to the roof whilst I had the drivers side door open when re-fitting it. As soon as this happened the drivers side door no longer activates the light and buzzer. However, the passenger side door does activate the light AND strangely the buzzer.

I know the door switch pins are a common fault and so I switched the known working one from the passenger side to the drivers side and vice versa.... the known working switch wouldn't work on drivers side BUT the drivers side switch worked in passenger side. So I now know the switches are BOTH fine.

Any ideas? Bearing in mind both switches are fine from the above test, the buzzer is working as it activates via pass door and the light works as it activates via pass door.... Strange one.

Thanks in advance

    Clean up the hole for the switches fixing screw, it might not be getting a good earth.

    Pull the kick panel out in the footwell, the cable to the switch may be broken.
