So,
Slider open, engine running, light on.
Slider open, van locked, light on.
Close the slider and the light goes out.
This is the switch. Image

I seem to remember that you can code the rear interior lights to come on with the front doors...could depend on the type of cecm though...

All is well with my lights now :D it was the switch on the sliding door (the pokey outey bit on the door wasn't quite activating the switch on the pillar), so i spaced the switch with a couple of penny washers and now it works perfectly! thanks all for the advise!
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

Hey. Did you manage to sort yours out? I’ve just started having this problem, figure it must be a switch but not sure whether it’s the slider or drivers door

Cheers

No, it went in for it’s first service. I told them about it but they couldn’t find anything wrong.

Thought I’d sorted it the other day by cleaning and greasing the contacts on the sliding door...fail, sorted it for a while but now it just flickers on and off when I go over a bump!
Might be there’s a corrosion problem in the back door wiring from the switches...
