duncmc Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 As per the title. I am trying to sort why my courtesy lights are stuck on. I have checked and cleaned all the door switches and the tailgate one. I have changed the timer relay for a new one from Rimmer Bros but my lights are still stuck on. I had heard or read that the alarm ECU might be faulty, so I asked the guys at remotekey.co.uk who said that the alarm has nothing to do with the lights. They suggested a bad earth or the multifunction unit. However, I didn't think they came in until the softdash. The confusing bit though is Microcat says my car should have one, then again though it shows the softdash diagram. Before I try chase down a bad earth, can anyone confirm that there is no multifuntion unit on a 1993 hard dash then. thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanuki Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 It'll depend on what market the vehicle was originally built for [note: not the country it was first registered in!] The precise spec varied country-to-country - this is likewise a perpetual issue when trying to work out when a particular Disco will have a "spider" or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncmc Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 Well, I can't see one under the steering column. And I have had the rest of the dash apart to do the heater change. Didn't see one then either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8david Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Is there a switch on the dash for the lights? I assume you've checked it but you haven't mentioned it. On my hard dash there's the cluster of 6 switches next to the radio, they switch the rear screen heater on, fog lights, front spot light things etc., one of them is a switch for my courtesy lights. Is it as simple as that being on, or faulty, or am I being too obvious? Please feel free to point out if I'm being thick, I assume you're talking interior lights, one in the front, one in the back, in the roof lining? Apologies if I've got the wrong end of the stick!

duncmc Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 You are correct David, I did not mention that. As I wrote the above I had not tested it. I have since had the switch put and it is fine. And yes I mean interior lights, but not just those, the door bottom puddle lights too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
