Renault Megane courtesy light

[IanMB]

We have a Renault Mégane 1.6 cabriolet, registered in 2000 (W). The courtesy light trips on whenever the car goes over any significant bump (e.g. speed bumps) and it's getting annoying!

The same bumps also seem to send the auto door lock into re-activate.

Does anyone know what sensor/actuator might be causing this, please?

Regards,
Ian

Gregers,

Thanks, but they seem to be working fine - and this is happening while the doors are closed. Can't quite see the cause --> effect there?

I had more in mind that there is some other mechanism involved, like something up with the way the courtesy light housing operates (it's a pretty shoddy little unit with the light lens operating a 3-position rocker switch for 'off', 'operated by door switches', and 'continuous on'). But I can't see how that would impact the auto door lock mechanism - unless that's a completely different issue!

Rgds, Ian
