Overhead light on left turns!

[campione]

Just recently I developed an interesting "problem". On left hand turns, and only on lefts, my overhead lamp comes on, and fades off as we move on. I checked the bulb in the lamp-all is tight there. I'm wondering if it's in the door switch? Any ideas are appreciated!

That light is controlled by sliding the cover on the makeup mirror in your sun visor. So maybe that cover is loose enough to shift in turns. Or maybe the wire to that cover is frayed and rubbing against ground as you corner.

It's happened to me before in my previous Ti, however, I sold it before I sourced the problem.

Nope...the visors didn't do it. They're tight. Time to look elsewhere. Or maybe I'll just use it as a cheap "G-meter"!

Ok so i am having the same problem, I have sourced it to be my passenger door catch switch. What had led me to it being the problem is cause i made it go away for a day by adjusted the location of it a little forward. But i feel it is a faulty switch. I havnt had the funds to replace it so i just turned the light off and lock the car manually.

The left turn-only overhead light problem is fixed. It turned out to be the worn-out plunger switch on the tailgate. It wouldn't totally drop when the 'gate was closed, causing the overhead light to flick on in left turns (body flexing?). Used a new #61-318-360-464 to fix it.

Sorry for the confusion. When I read overhead light, I pictured the makeup light over the sun visor.

I fooled around with the switch back there being curious along with all the door ones. Ill see what happens tomm.

I'm jealous, I don't have light on my visors. When I did the headliner I saw the cables, ........
