I have just acquired a late 2003 model in which the interior light
does not automatically come on when the doors are opened and the light
switch does not have any kind of toggle to set it so that it does.
Does anyone know if there is any way of setting it to come on/go off
automatically.

Any suggestions would be most welcome

The switch for the dome light should be on the dome light itself, with 3
positions - off, on, and door. In the door position , the dome light should
come on when the door is opened.

Make sure that the bulb is not burnt out.

Check the plunger switch on the door jamb. The switch is under a rubber
boot on the door jamb. Carefully peel back the boot and give the switch a
shot of WD-40.

Many thanks. I'll check the door jam switch but the dome itself -
unlike the illustration in the manual- can only be pressed on or off,
there is no door position. Odd!
