Door Jamb switch Bumper

[VWScott]

I am new to the BMW world and recently purchased a '76 '02. Anyway I am going through the electrics since many items are not functioning. One of which was the dome light. I fixed that...so I thought. Light works and when you manually depress the door jamb switch the light goes out. Great! So I put the car away and congratulated myself for a good start.I go out to the car today and battery is dead,ugh!!! I sat in driver's seat with the door closed and noted the dome light was still on. It was then I discovered a necessary piece to this equation.There was no rubber stop on the door and when closed the door jamb switch was not depressing.Passenger side does have the necessary part but not the driver side. What is this rubber part called? I Googled with no luck.Is this part available? and what are suitable alternatives for this. As it it stands the door has a hole looks to be 15mm where rubber stop is supposed to be located.Thks much.

It's called a bump stop and is part #51216041760 Should be easy to find.

You could try to position/default the switch on the dome light to off at all times. and disconnect negative on your battery while not around the car. Get a CTEK or something similar trickle charger good stuff.

 It's little tedious to find the little bits, most everything is on RealOEM.
