2000 PFL Omega CDX 2.5 petrol manual estate
Had a puncture last Friday at midnight. It was raining. Then I discovered there was no light above the cargo area. Now I see one, centre rear roof lining. I have dug it out, but the bulb is OK. I cannot see a switch. Where is it?

On the tailgate, towards the lefthand side of the bottom edge... It's on a timer, so goes out after a few minutes

Thanks Al, now I see it, so far away from the light and the hinge. I thought it might be a mercury tilt switch, like on my Citroens.

Fault cured, simple bad earth at switch.
These 16 year old cars accumulate faults unless sorted, and sorting is best done by loving owners. Next wet night puncture I shall be better prepared.
