Check that the door is not closing too tight ... |

| If it is the Mud LED light check your polarity. LEd's only work if the polarity is correct. Swap the wires round after first checking the fuse. Blew the fuse when i put LED into interior light! |

First check that the drain holes in bottom of door are not blocked.
If clear then you are probably going to have to take the door card off and check that the vapour barrier is there, and not split. T ... |
