Title: Boot light not working
Post by: Bluest on 31 October 2025, 15:40
Puzzling over a mystery. My interior boot light does not work. Bulb changed, there is 12v at the connector and electrical continuity through the holder and the bulb. I've even tested the little diode installed in the bulb holder which is working correctly. Could this be a high resistance somewhere, or something else? Maybe bad earth. Any ideas where to look?

Noticed my bulb was out last week and just got round to ordering a replacement bulb.

Gone for an LED one this time. Read it has to be fitter the right way around otherwise it doesn’t work. Wouldn’t expect that is your issue here though.

Will be watching for any updates in case I have the same issue.

Good luck sorting it out

Bit of an odd one. Maybe the issue is in the switch that detects the hatch is open?
