drivers door is open (courtesy light switch made)
What is going on??? 1995 2.5 td cdx estate.
When door is shut there are no lights on the window switches in the centre consul and they don't work - open the door and hey presto!!

Check fuses 1 and 7, both 30 amp.

Could be a break in the door loom   :-/

On a 95my the switches are in the centre console. The lighting and working when the door is open is part of the total closure feature. Not working with the doors closed tends to be either a controler or operational fuse or relay, hence me suggesting the fuses first

Fuses 1 & 7 OK
May be the door loom but forgot to mention that this has happened a number of times before, and self corrects after a few weeks/months.
Maybe it's something that I do that causes/fixes it. The only out of the ordinary thing that I did prior to the latest occurence was to use the key to lock the door AND close the windows (key fob thing has long since expired)
Have tried to study the wiring diagram - seems that the drivers door courtesy light switch feeds a signal to S37.7 automatic controller. Do you know the location of this controller and which relays are involved.

I don't know if I'll help you but I had the same problem in my Cavalier MK3, I replaced the switches and everything worked again... in the Cavalier, all the switches are in the same pad, same plug for all...
