opps! shorted wire on interior lamp

Featured Replies

Hey Guys

Just fitted up my Superb interior lamp today but shorted out the 12v wire to ground while putting it back together somehow! poped the fuse so put a new one in, but now when i lock the car my indicators dont flash but the alarm leds in the door work, and the indicators flash when i unlock the car! any ideas?? they used to flash when i locked and unlocked the car

Thanks Fabian

Went out this morning, tried it and still the same so decided to check the other fuses, pulled the central lock fuse out as well as the others to check all where fine, put the cover back on, closed the door and hit lock and the lights flash when it locks! must have just needed a reset.

Did a few other bits and bobs this weekend, got my sill kick trims installed and must say i reckon they look great, got my superb light going (after i fiddled and tried to find out what pins 2 and 6 do.... dont put 12v to pin 6 as it blows the little diodes in there and it makes the map lights work a bit funky! so i just unsoldered both diodes and it works as it should!) pin 6 from what i can tell will supply 12v when you have either a map light or the whole unit switched on. Fitted my comfort indicator kit and also shifted my ipod kit from the cubby under the radio to the armrest which was pretty straight foward, on the lh side of the armrest if you pop the side trim off you can see it is designed to allow some wires to get up and into it :) Now just waiting on the parts to arrive for my rain sensor job, ran the wires needed for this with my wire for the interior lamp, got them all clipped up the the factory harness all the way to the fuse box :D was happy getting it done like that without much hassle.

nice one mate for getting it sorted!
