Default Courtesy Light Delay Problems

For those of you that have been having problems with the courtesy lights not turning on when you open the doors.

I have found on my car that the light on passenger hush panel is short circuited. Every once in a while the courtesy lights will not work when I open the doors. So, I just slap my hand against the hush panel and the courtesy lights come on.

Does anyone know how I could either fix the light or find a new one?

Get a screwdriver and a multimeter, and start dis-assembly. You gotta' open stuff up and get a look on...
