door switch

Hi, My 2002, XJ8 SE has a fault on both the drivers side doors front and rear. The door open warning light,puddle lights and interior lights do not come on when the door is open. I have a nagging feeling that it is too coincidental for both front and rear door handle micro switches have gone faulty at the same time so I would prefer to check all of the easy bits before removing the door cards as I allways break some of the clips and you can usually tell that they have been off. On the interweb (ebay) you can buy "door switch micro relays" but I cannot find where they fit.

Also has anyone bought a fault code reader that works on Jags system?
Many thanks
Richard

Firstly check the fuse, I doubt its the mirco switches as they only ever blow tegether when you have a short and that would mean all 4 go at once, the other is check the bulbs, I think they're on a series so if the front goes the back wont work. if no joy there remove the door cards and look for a break in the wires

Yes you can but fault code readers off Ebay for about ÂŁ40 I have one and it works just fine on all my jags
