Interior Lights to do with Radio ?????
« on: 08 July 2015, 14:22:37 »

Hi All. I have just picked up a nice Omega 2002 LPG version. My problem is none of the interior lights work. That includes above mirror, sun visor, kerb lights etc. A friend, who knows a little of the history of the car seems to remember that they stopped working when a new radio was fitted and ashtray removed. Please do not ask me why this is as I am as flummuxed as you guys. I have the ashtray to hand but it does not want to open and two wires have been cut (Brown & black).

Bottom line is that is it possible the radio or ashtray could cause interior lights not to work. I have checked the fuses and bulbs and are OK.

Thanks guys.

Its strange as I have the opposite problem, my reading lights above the interior mirror won't turn on (bulbs are working & fuse is ok) but the interior comfort light in front of the reding lights are on permanently and won't turn off when the doors are shut thus draining the battery???

Sounds like a dodgy PCB in the light unit itself
