Hi
The warning noise when I attempt to leave the car with my lights on no longer works. I have also noticed the interior light does not come on or the door lights.

The rear door lights work as does the interior light when you open the back doors.

Whats going on?

Thank you in advance

I believe door contact switch in the door lock assembly has failed. Try spraying WD-40 in all the door latch mechanisisms. If this does not help, you will need to replace the door lock assembly, as the door contact switch is built into the assembly and can not be replaced separately.
