mk3 astra interior light problem
« on: 01 March 2009, 19:24:25 »
Was working on a friends mk3 astra today N reg. interior light does not work at all, with the switch or by the doors opening, have checked bulbs, fuses etc, nothing amiss, is there a relay to control this? found a blue one in the fusebox but didnt have a spare one of these.

cheers  :y

Unlikely to be a relay involved. Do you have a 12V supply, it does seem strange that it won't work on either doors or the switch?

without knowing which fuse socket to check I cant check for a supply. the pictures on the fusebox cover dont have a symbol for the interior light, so I just checked every single one.

being the LS model it only has the 2 wires, so cant really get it wrong.

nah not ex plod, wrong colour, its metallic gold. I noticed when I changed the heater resistor unit that one of the wires was burnt out, altho the new unit works ok so maybe unrelated.

Switch on the lamp unit is in the right position, isn't it?

I'll be the one to ask the stupid questions...like the bulb is okay, isn't it...?

Do any Vauxhalls have an on/off switch on the lamp? Vauxhall have used a pull / push on the main light switch for a looong time. (late 70's Cavaliers/Asconas/Mantas/Monzas/etc used it)
