Hi All,

 

Ever since I bought the car, last year, the boot light hasn't worked.

 

How can I check if this is a fuse, or the bulb, or something else?

 

And if it's a simple bulb, how do I replace it?

 

Thanks,

Damian

The boot and glove box both require fuse to be taken out. You can check the boot by swapping the 1 of the 2 map reader bulbs (if you have this configuration)

Hi Kobayashi,
 

Do you mean that I should try the glove box bulb in the boot?

 

I'll take a look.

 

Thanks,

Damian

Yes you could that but easier to pull out one of the map readers there's usually 2 next to the main festoon, I think when you replace a bulb its 50/50 chance of working as positive / negative, so turn other way if doesn't.  I replace all mine with LED

This was an east one to fix.

 

When I removed the boot bulb, I could see that it just wasn't plugged in!

 

Luckily, the wire was right there, so I scooped it out and plugged it in.

 

Now all is well.

 

Almost a year without it and I just needed to plug it in! 🙂
