open door indicator issue
Have a strange problem... when my drivers door is open, the indicator on the overhead view of the car on the speedometer dash does not light up.
What makes it weird is that all the lights on the little overhead map light up when i start up the car, so I know the bulbs are working. Second, when I press the little button on the inside of the door jamb, it makes the courteousy light go off, so I know that the switch is working!
What else could be wrong?

Whoa...im totaly confused but it sounds like you have some definitly wiring issues...So let me get this straight:
When the door is open, the little door light on the instrument cluster dosnt light up, but when you start the car, the overhead map lights come on?

I would bet there is more to that mechanism than just the switch that turns off the courtesy light. I'm not sure why this is happening, but it'll probably be expensive to find the cause and repair it, so I'd just learn to live with it.
