Anyone know what fuse controls the interior alarm and fuel buttons?
Just went to fill up there and found the lights on both had gone out and they didn't work.
Managed to get to the fuel by the boot but could do with a pointer here!
Thanks
Thanks Steve literally just happened so I've not five much in the way of diags.
Only out the door on a week ago or so so it may never have worked but never thought to check!
The thing to remember is that once you have fixed these issues they really are quite a reliable car and won't rust away.Thanks Steve as always you are spot on. Checked the door open and alas the dash not registering the fact that the door is indeed open. Passenger door is fine!
Would be nice to get 2 weeks with this car when nothing is wrong with it but hey
highly likely to be the solder joints and not the micro switches, please check BOTH whilst the lock assy is out, as its a bitch when you refit it all and find the problem is still there.
Ideally reflow the solder joint with LEADED solder a little electrical flux
Cheers,

My alternative fix method would be to remove the switch from my other front drivers door and then do a lazy repair when it suits
Right ok so given I need to now fix at least one of the 2 drivers door microswitches i thought I'd start on the one that obviously isn'tin the car just now.
Upon close examination of the back of the board it looks like this

I'm guessing whilst its different to the pic this is as expected on later cars maybe?
Guessing i just have to melt through the resin and remove / replace solder droplets near the plug?
Assuming I dont have to rejoint the microswitches themselves?
I am no expert at "electrickery" but that looks like it doesn't need resoldering to me.
Perhaps the microswitch itself is not working.
Have you access to a multimeter tot check that the switch is operating as it should?

Ok just done a quick continuity test and I'm getting continuity on all switches from outside of each chip from the left sided pin (as per location in pic).
Alas I'm not a electronics whizz either - I know each of the switches clicks etc but not sure if that still means they work.
Anything else I should check for? I have a fairly decent budget multimeter but not a clue aside from continuity and testing batteries
ok so then I'm stumped - all 4 switches working?
Whats left to check??
