Interior lights!!!!

[mr sat nav]

OK, just a quick annoying question for you all, is there a fuse for the internal lights somewhere? I'm asking as the passenger door light and internal light works when the door is opened, but neither of the drivers side do. Checked the bulbs and they are all ok, the switch's in the door frames seem to be ok. Incidentally the glove compartment light and boot lights don't work either, hence the fuse question, unless someone is going to enlighten me that this is a common problem and easily sorted, please!!??

Think the fuse is in the drivers footwell fuse box fuse 19, 10 A

That's for the Evo.

Dave yours is fuse 13 also 10A

thanks tim

Thanks Tim, I'll have a go Sat when I get a bit of daylight and let you know how I get on!!

[dave_2.8td]

mines fixed now was a fuse too !

[mr sat nav]

Didn't work, couldn't see how they were numbered, they were x7 across and x4 down, so I counted 19 every way I could think of and checked out the fuses that seemed fine. I am sure there must be a way to easily get access to the panel rather than crawling around on all fours trying to stick my head up behind the dash??

Is there a plan b? Is there guidance anywhere on the forum about how to change/check the little push switch in the door frame that operates the interior lights when you open the door? Still wouldn't explain the glove compartment and boot lights though? Any suggestions anyone, that doesn't involve a trip to a stealers, as I'm not that desperate to pay a fortune to get it sorted, just its annoying!!!!

pull the rubber boot off the door pin switch and remove switch and touch wire to earth if light works the switch has died just lube up with wd40 after cleaning contact bits with wet n dry paper

This may help

Thanks Tim, thats probably the only fuse I didn't try when I was sussing out where no 19 was, I'll have a go again in the morning when its a bit lighter!

[mr sat nav]

Tried it Tim, fuse in no 19 is fine, as are all the bulbs, possibly the switch mechanism in the door?? Any ideas??

[dave_2.8td]

it could be the switch mechanism like you said? have you checked the bulbs? also there is a swith in the very middle try that one it turns the lights on

[TinyTim]

Must be the switches as they are the common point.

Interior light and door lights do not share a common earth.

I just knew you were gonna say that!! Well OB1, what does your little disc say???

[TinyTim]

I don't have a little disc for the Evo
