Superb: Interior lights doesn't work anymore?!?

Featured Replies

Hello.

All the interior lights and door /make up lights doesn*t work anymore. The fuses are OK. When i open and close every door, nothing happens.

Is there some relays to the interior lights which could be dead? Interior lights uses the same fuse than central locking,so could the c-lock be damaged?

If you do a search you will see that it could possible be anything from a loose connection in the door mirror, to a very wet carpet and corroded nodes under the carpet!

Has your pollen filter been sealed? This is where many problems start.

Good luck sorting this one out.

Agreed it sounds very much the inevitable water ingress that they all suffer from (unless the housing has been resealed previously)

Hi

I had the same problem with a 6 month old Elegance. Check if the puddle lights work when you open the door, if one of them is not working it may indicate the pcb in the wing mirror is faulty, this also takes out the interior light. Worth a look. Good luck

Hello again.

Still no interior lights. There is a LOT of water under the floor carpet!! AAArghh!1

I measured the comfort-module (its DRY) underneath driver seat, everything's OK from fuse to the module (blue-red wire)and "output" pins are alive. but i guess there's a short circuit somewhere in the car? Bad ground? My brother has a B5 passat, im gonna try and swap these modules to make sure its ok.

And the thing keeps me swearing is that passat repair manual has the same s*it, but wiring doesn't match 100%?!? could octy/haynes be any help?

Noticeable thing has occured with rear mirror/map lights on the roof, when i wash the car water drops starts falling from it, sometimes these map light blinks a litttle and disappears. I have to take a look on that..

Thanks for the tips!

Hi.

There were 8 red-black wires "off-circuit", under the floor carpet( water has eaten the solderings). I soldered them back together and TADAA! interior lights do work now.

well not 100%, door-signal wire has to be loosen too, i dont know which or where!

When i open a door (no matter which one) or close, lights don't react.

Does anyone know is this door-signal wire red-black coloured too?? Where is it? where is the wire junction to it??

Thanks..

One mine they were blue and white wires that all link together just before the ccu under the passenger side carpet. Does your car display what door is open but nothing happens with the lights?
