Wonder if anyone has any ideas why my boot lights aren't lighting up on my 2010 Estate?

 

- The boot open indicator on the dash screen works correctly showing the boot as open when it is

- Other interior courtesy lights work

- Its not the bulbs as tested working bulbs

- A new genuine boot latch/microswitch has been installed

- Wiring between the boot hatched checked

 

Pretty stumped as to why they aren't lighting up. Quite annoying too in the winter. 

You didn't say if the relevant fuse is good.

I read on here that fuse controls more than the boot light as in the other interior lights? Which are fine... Surely there isn't a fuse just for the boot lights?

That's what I had thought but just in case.

Check for broken wires in the wiring snake between the body and the hatch. From memory the boot light display on the dash is obtained via CanBus. On a 2010 vehicle the same signal is used by the Convenience Module to supply12V to the boot lights.

Also check for corrosion on the earth stud and its' wires on the left hand side of the boot behind the trim.

I have checked the wiring between the boot hatch, but was only a quick look. Think I'll have another proper look.

 

Had a quick look down at the earth stud and there has been other earths added to this for tow bar and rear camera I think. If it was a bad earth, would it not cause issue for any other lights?
