Door light.

One of my rear doors when opened to the first spring will bring the interior light on but when opened fully the light goes out if it’s brought back to the first spring position the light comes back on again. Any suggestions as to what the problem is.

It is likely a bad door switch or a loose wire in the hinge area. When the door opens fully, the contact might break, so check the switch and wiring there.
