The Mystery Lever?

[sabotage]

Ok, so ive got this simple problem with the interior lights on the
roof not turning on. Ive ripped out the interior light housing and
checked everything inside it. Everything inside the housing seems to
be working awesome. So, the only other idea i had was to rip apart the
door & the side panel where the door light sensor is at. But before i
do this i was wondering where the actual switch is for the interior
lights? Is it with the sensor thats in the door or does it have a
seperate sensor in the door jam?

There also is this spring loaded lever of some sort on each side of
the car, in the door jams. Well on the drivers side it broke off, i
cant figure what the heck its for though. And i dont feel like ripping
the entire rear quarter panel just to figure out what it is. So if any
of ou could tell me what it is, or a possible "easy" fix for the
interior lights not coming on when the doors open that would be great!

PS: Im also looking for: ebrake, Manual Shifter boots. Preferably Tan
in color. Also two front tan leather seats, im more pushy about the
boots though, i need them more then the seats atm. If anyone can help
me out thatd be great!

Thanks!
