Lights on, door open buzzer not working, or absent?

Hi there,
First post here so let me know if I’m doing anything wrong!
I brought a 1.4 SOHC Polo match just under a year ago as my first car, learnt to drive in it, passed my test in it and have covered about 4000 miles in it now. It’s a great little motor and I have very little to gripe about, but one of those things is that I have left the sidelights on countless times as there isn’t a lights on-door open chime/buzzer (that I know of)
Now, I don’t know if it’s a fault with the gauge cluster, a fuse or if it plain doesn’t have one. I have seen people saying that aftermarket radios can mess with it, and that the drivers door switch has gone, but the interior light comes on and goes off every time I open and close the door, so I think the switch is fine. The radio as well is a Volkswagen Gamma unit (Upgraded from the Beta) so I don’t think it’s that either.
Any help or advice with this problem would be greatly appreciated, and if you need any more info, feel free to ask!
Thanks in advance,
John
