Peculiar Interior Light Issue

[RobMurrant]

Hi All.

 

In the 5 minutes my car was parked up while i went inside, put some laundry in, and left again my 67 plate Citigo developed a strange fault.

Whenever I have more than mild acceleration, my interior lights comes on. 

My suspicion is that there's a loose wire somewhere. The door light doesn't illuminate on the instrument cluster, so I don't think its a door switch.

I tried reversing gently into a kerb, and that made the light come on as well, and it stayed on until I reversed backwards (bumping the car was a jolt forwards, needed to reverse to undo the jolt)

I also found the interior light was staying on when I close and lock the door, but the hazards don't flash which I thought they used to?

 

As it's still under warranty it'll be visiting the dealers, but I thought you'd all like to see this bazaar new feature.

Perhaps the fault is that the rest of the Citigos don't have it!

 

A peak acceleration light! Brilliant!
