Courtesy light switch S70 1998

gavinl,

The micro-switch is part of the lock mechanism. The L rear door switch stopped working on mine. The dealer wanted $100.+ for the lock.

So, I removed the lock and sprayed the switch w/PB Blaster and worked it a couple dozen times. After many months it still works fine.

It is a small switch w/3 prong connection covered with clear sealant. Just manipulate the door strike and you will hear and see the switch operate.

Let me know if you need more info. Good luck,

Bryan
