Drucey 10 Posted March 3, 2014 Hi people, I have a problem with my interior light :-( it always stays on, when you shut the car door the light won't go out now, I have bought new striker switches, cleaned all the connections around them, checked the wires in the door and which run through the door(which seem fine) it's strange if you play with the striker switch (in/out) from time to time the light will dim and flicker (like it wants to go out) is this a doggy earth somewhere? Where is the earth? My car is a early model 1.8 16v, it just strange cause if you hold it down with your finger (as if door is shut) it will flicker sometimes, could anybody help? Thank you.

Wullie 1 Posted March 4, 2014 Not wanting to sound like a supercilious twat but the switch has 3 positions. Permanently on, switched by door and permanently on. Have you tried all 3 positions? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon green 5 Posted March 4, 2014 When it's on the "entry" position,it stays on for about 10 seconds,or until you turn the ignition on ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drucey 10 Posted March 4, 2014 Mine stays on all the time, was working fine for years, now have this problem. I bought a new light. Been messing about again today. Seems the connector on the loom has a doggy/loose wire coming out of it? Gonna try get the bit that comes off the loom and connect it to mine.. Get it from someone breaking one, hopefully will be that?? (Hopefully) lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drucey 10 Posted March 5, 2014 Mine has never just stayed on for 10 seconds, just comes on when you open the door and them goes of when it's shut. Maybe it was a later feature? Mine is a (g reg) 1.8 16v Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
