💡 Pro Tip — Check the Door Switch Before Replacing the Module:
A faulty door switch causes the exact same symptom — no light when the door opens. Before replacing the light module, press and release the door switch manually (usually a small button on the door frame) and listen for a click. If the switch is stuck or doesn’t click, replace it first — it’s a much cheaper fix. If the switch is fine and the light still doesn’t work, the module is your next step.
