Bob - This is a common problem with DeLoreans. Those pegs are actually switches. The switch is spring loaded to be normally closed when the peg is not pressed. Pressing the peg opens the circuit. There are wires attached to the switches under the dashboard. Normally, the lights not working are due to the wires falling off the switch. The switches are supposed to have a rubber cap that extends the switch to ensure it contacts the door panel. You can't really tell if the switch is working while you are closing the door because the switch is not activated until the door is almost completely closed. The second switch on the driver's side is for the ignition key reminder buzzer. Michael A.
