Topic: Courtesy interior lights - a glitch! Posted: 28-August-2005 at 12:09 |
OK, it's my turn to post up a problem:
Only noticed this in the last week or so. When you open your doors, the interior lights are supposed to come on automatically.
Both of my lights have stopped doing this, regardless of which door I open. Trigger switches look OK, and the lights themselves are fine (if you set them to "permanently on", they light up as normal). I've checked the fuses, and everything's grand.
So...errm..... what's causing it?

i think there is a seperate relay to control the interior lights coming on when the door is opened, i would check that first.

According to the Bentley manual, the courtesy light control module lives in the "drivers" footwell (LHD).
Might be worth a look.

Right, that little relay wasn't where people said it was. Not above passenger footwell, anyway, although the "electronic gong" IS there.
So next weekend will focus on what's above the driver's footwell....
