Honda Car Forum

I have two electrical issues with my car that I think are related. I'm
hoping someone on here can help me troubleshoot the issue.

1) When I open the either of the passenger side doors, the interior
lights do not come on. But they do come on when I open either of the
driver side doors.

2) If I unlock the doors using my remote, and then open either of the
passenger side doors, the car still re-locks the doors after 30
seconds. I understand that Honda makes the doors re-lock if you don't
open them within 30 seconds of hitting the unlock button, but it's not
registering a door being opened on the passenger side. If you open
either of the driver side doors, there is no problems with the car
re-locking the doors.

Anyone have any ideas? Is this something only a mechanic can fix?

============================

The switches on both passenger's side doors are dead / frozen /
unplugged. The system doesn't 'see' the doors opening, so it relocks itself.

interchangeable.
