If you mean the courtesy light which should light up when you enter and leave the car I had a similar problem.
The settings in the Becm had changed (dont know why) namely the alarm was disabled. Re set alarm to active with Faultmate and all is now OK.

Mine is a 2001 P38 so not sure if it is the same process. On mine I used a Faultmate Extreme and the following options:

Select by ECU
Body Control
BECM
Settings

Then opt for Settings and Info at which point it reads the module. This returns a table of settings.
Make sure the:
Immobiliser is enabled
Alarm is enabled
Alarm Lights set to Hazards.
If not then amend accordingly and them Load Settings

This fixed my problem, courtesy lights now work...

Others may advise if 2003 model is significantly different.

Cheers,
Steve
