FAQs
What vehicles is the Ci Ignition XDLS106 compatible with?
This switch is designed for specific BMW and Ford models. It is listed as compatible with the BMW 3 (E36) series and matches OEM references BMW 61311362792 and Ford 1240214. Always verify fitment for your specific vehicle.
How do I know if I need to replace my courtesy light switch?
If your interior lights no longer illuminate when you open your car doors, or if they remain on constantly, your courtesy light switch may be faulty and require replacement.
Does this switch come with wiring or connectors?
The product description specifies it features one connector, implying the connector is part of the switch assembly for plugging into the vehicle's wiring harness.
Can I install this switch myself?
Installation typically requires basic automotive knowledge and tools. If you are not comfortable with car repairs, it is recommended to have a professional mechanic install the part.
What is the difference between this and a door pin switch?
The courtesy light switch is often activated by a door pin switch (or plunger switch). This part, the XDLS106, is the switch itself that controls the light circuit when triggered by the door mechanism.
How can I confirm compatibility if I'm unsure?

Troubleshooting
Interior lights do not turn on when a door is opened.
Check the electrical connection to the switch. Ensure the switch is correctly seated and the new part is functioning. Verify vehicle door pin switch is operational.
