Title: interior light staying on
Post by: Toledodude1973 on 04 January 2020, 16:15:46: I'm having a problem with interior light staying lit all the time even when driving. Thought it might be a door light switch so checked for corrosion etc all seemed good and the puddle lights all illuminate and go off correctly .The only way was to unplug roof light unit
Any ideas thank you all

Post by: Doctor Gollum on 04 January 2020, 18:26:34: Unlikely as that would blow the fuse, whereas switch wear/failure wouldn't necessarily ;)

Post by: TheBoy on 05 January 2020, 11:36:59: I would definitely prove/disprove the switch before ordering a replacement.

Can be done trivially with a meter.

Post by: Toledodude1973 on 03 February 2020, 19:13:58: Omegod managed to obtain a main light switch for me(complicated piece of kit) i tried it but wouldn't function at all. In true OOF fashion he then sourced another elite switch and interior light cluster and sent them on trust. I tried switch and new cluster and everything now works fine. He truly went out of his way to solve the problem thankyou. Also thanks to other OOfers for help .......and yes Doc Gollam you were right :D :D :D :D
