interior lights wont turn off!
« on: 07 November 2011, 14:31 »

Hi guys
I purchased 56 plate GT TDi and none of the interior lights were working. I found there was a fuse missing so replaced the fuse. But having done this, the front internal lights stay on all the time when driving. They do however turn off when the engine is off.

any ideas as to why the lights stay on? any ideas as to the cost for getting this sorted?

Silly question but have you tried the switch on the light unit itself?

Have you tried pressing the reading light buttons?
