Am sure the door light switch is integrated into the lock catch mechanism?? Shoot me if I'm wrong...

As has been said the door open switch is located with in the door lock mechanism.

I have a guide on how to fix it which I'll post up when I find it. It's a pain as the whole door needs to be stripped down and the joints in the lock re soldered. If you are doing it change the window carriers to the new metal type also while you are in there.
