Interior lighting issues
« on: 28 April 2011, 08:49 »
I was driving the Anni last night and noticed that the lighting for the heater controls, headlight switch area and light adjustment area were all off.

Weirdly, the sidelight switch being on allows light to come through the headlight switch but when the main beam is on it doesn't.

What could the issue be?

Heater controls could be a bulb, hit it in various places, see if it comes back. Firm but not too fim obviously.

So the headlight switch comes on if it's on sidelight position?

Take the switch out of your grey one and try that?

hahaha nicely done.

Serious note my same interior lights don't work. But my side light and main beam are fine. I'm thinking fuse.

I would but I don't have it at the moment. I'll test this weekend.

I wouldn't think it is the fuse because the interior lighting is fuse 21 (I think) and that is for all interior lighting.
