Interior / Central Light switch not working properly
« on: January 11, 2012, 11:11:57 am »
Hi all,

The main light switch on the roof is not working properly....

i think it pretty much needs replacing, i can switch it on permanently but when leaving it level the light should come on when unlocking the car, this is hit or miss! might be a loose connection or something?

does anyone know how i could fix it, or has anyone had the same problem?

thanks

Hi

Next time you go out in the car when it is dark, have a look at the cigarette lighter is it illuminated?
