Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

    Electrical Situation

    Yesterday, when I just put the key on the ignition, there's a loud beep sound, and the light around the Ignition switch turns on. The driver's door light turns on too and the tiny car on the panel shows the door open as it was. I turned the lights on without start the engine and I heard another warning sound like a bell or something. I know, that's the normal way that those things always should work. Today all those things aren't working again as before. What controls all those functions together? Seems to be a loose cable, damaged plug or something, but where?

    On the left side of the steering column there is a grey plug. You'll have to remove the column cover and knee bolster to really get to it. However, if the indicator for the headlights on door open is also not working I would check the switch located in the door jam first as that is your most likely culprit.

      Its normal for them not to work the bell is the seatbelt warning.

        I'm pretty sure he's talking about the headlight on indicator and the key in ignition indicator...... that's why I suggested the door pin switch as it would be related to both items not working.

          Isn't the seatbelt indicator, Im' pretty sure of it. And it's not a fuse either.

            Since you said it worked for a bit try jiggling the switch on the door jam. Also check to make sure the screw holding the switch isn't corroded/rusty as this is how the switch gets ground.

              Sometimes everything works fine, like 1 time each 3 or 4 months. How can I check or fix it?

                To check the switch, unscrew it from the door jamb and it will slide right out. Make sure the one wire going to it has a good connection and also for the above stated corrosion on the screw. If you have a multimeter you can also check to make sure the switch has continuity.

                  What about the grey plug on the left side of the steering column? Is that the plan b if the door switch works fine?

                    That would be another place to check if the switch doesn't work........ check the switcch first then check back in.

                      Be careful when you pull the door switch, they like to spit the spring out. While you have it out, take some time and rough cloth (like terry cloth) and dry clean the plastic parts. This should help get rid of some of the dirt and abrasion that makes them stick.
