2007 E350 4Matic Wagon S211
Interior lights not functioning properly????

I have recently been having an issue with the interior light function in my 2007 E350 4Matic Wagon,

The interior lights do not come on anymore when I open my doors. They work when I normally turn them on via using the buttons inside but otherwise they don’t come on. The small dim lights at the feet wells and door handle lights seem to stay on as long as the car is on.

does anyone have a fix for this? It’s been really terribly bugging me.

This sounds like one of your door ajar sensors is stuck on open. Use a scanner to collect fault codes and test these light circuits then last tear open the door if you have to.
That control module is none other than F-SAM chassis power manager.

Also there's a light switch in OCP to override these lights to stay on... double check that
