<p>Steve.odea: typos</p> <hr /> <div>The Courtesy light switches on the S1 (and probably the S2) are situated in the door jam.<br /> <br /> [[Image:courtesy_light_switch.jpg]]<br /> <br /> The drivers side switch operates the internal Courtesy light, however the passenger side switch<br /> does not. Either switch may trigger the alarm if it is armed.<br /> <br /> The switch contacts and the Lucar connectors on the back of them are made of copper and tend to corrode<br /> to the extent that they become unreliable.<br /> <br /> The switches used on the Elise are unusual as they have two connections, most cars use the chassis as an earth<br /> and so have only a single connection, the Elise having fiberglass bodywork needs two.<br /> <br /> So far the only supplier found is Lotus, happily they are not expensive.<br /> <br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot;<br /> || A111M6035F ||Door-Switch||£4.02 (Sept 08)<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> Take care when changing the switches not to allow the cables that attach to the back of them to<br /> drop into the sill as there is no access to this part of the car and they will be almost impossible to recover.<br /> <br /> As a protection against further corrosion the switch contacts and lucar spade connectors can be smeared with a little silicon grease.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Lotus Elise]]<br /> [[Category:S1]]<br /> [[Category:Body]]</div>
