I have a facelift model Xantia & the driver's door light switch doesn't work. Passenger side is OK & lights up the dashboard warning light and interior.
I believe the switch is incorporated into the door lock. Before I start pulling the door apart, I was wondering if anyone had any experience of fixing this problem? Haynes only states that the switch exists!

That would be the usual push switch in the door pillar. Either in the A-pillar or the B-pillar.
Resetting the fixing screw often clears the problem.

I'm afraid not (except on early cars). There is no such switch on either pillar. It definitely works via the door lock mechanism: with the passenger door open, flicking the latch so that it thinks it is closed makes the warning light go out. Opening the door handle (still with the door open) turns the light out again.
