No power to boot interior light...

Post by Karrot »

Fault : Boot light no illuminating

I've checked the bulb and the voltages at the plug. No 12V supply detected. I have continuity checked the earth. The roof/mutli-function display and radio all work fine and share the same fuse apparently (Fuse 4 20A)

Is this controlled by the BSI? Could I simply shunt a 12V live to it?

Cheers

Have you checked the boot switch?

Micro switches in the boot latch both click happily, and I'd assume this is negative switched, so having a continuity to earth would suggest it's fine.
