windnwaves Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Hi folks, I seem to have a slight problem with internal lights on my 1999 1.8 petrol FL. It is something I've noticed for a while now but have only just got around to trying to sort out.. The interior lights come on when you open the door and go off when you turn the key and start the engine... If you then try and switch on any of the 3 front lights in the headlining, none come on. The one over the rear seating area appears fine... Any thoughts please.... Cheers, Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llanigraham Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Check the aerial isn't leaking onto the lamp wiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ertin Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Had a similar problem. It was caused by a dirty earth connection on the connector on the back of the lamp assembly. The plug on the PCB on the back of the unit has three connections, one earth (LH one with black wire) and two live - one permanent for the switches and one controlled by the CCU. I found a sooty deposit on the earth track of the PCB. Cleaning this restored normal working. Hope this helps, Eric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windnwaves Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 Thanks for the replies folks... Will try and get the light unit out and have a look.. Not noticed any water marks on head lining so it may be just a bad contact... Thanks again... Will report back Ta, Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windnwaves Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 SORTED !!! Hi Folks, Problem found and solved. It was the connector (black wire) that connects on to the lamp PCB. For some reason just that one had become distorted and wasn't making contact but the other 2 were OK.. I reformed it and now all is well..
