TrisK Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Hey guys Need to know why my roof light on my ep82 doesnt work when opening the door If i turn the switch to on it will but not when doors open on the door setting. Also if i was to wire a boot light in where would be best? DOors is probably a faulty door switch. DO you get the door light on the dash? Also the best place for a boot light is probably in the boot ;) Quote
amatthews45 Posted July 14, 2014 Author Posted July 14, 2014 Yeah i dont have a boot light should there be one? Because if there was ment to be one wiring in one will be easy Swear i got a door symbol on the dash Quote
turbo Grant Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 I found on some it was the actual rivets that holds the contacts inside the light. I scraped round them with a screw driver and every thing was back working again Quote
amatthews45 Posted July 14, 2014 Author Posted July 14, 2014 What you took the light apart and cleaned it up? If so gonna do that once i home Main thing now is getting a boot light Quote
turbo Grant Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 If you pop the plastic cover off you will see the rivets. Both the wires connected to the light live 1 permant and 1 connected to the door switch. Take the wire off the door live. Or add a boot switch Quote
amatthews45 Posted July 14, 2014 Author Posted July 14, 2014 Super Once i got the door light on function to work i will tap into that feed for a boot light Thanks thats super helpfull Quote
amatthews45 Posted August 5, 2014 Author Posted August 5, 2014 Well theres a small update on this. The door light on still doesnt work the light pops up on the dash to say the doors are open. Also the illiumated key barrel lights up apon door opening ect. roof light works in the on postion yet just not when the doors open. Once I figure this out I will tackle footwells and boot light Quote
turbo Grant Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 It will be the contact rivets on the tracks inside the light. Quote
amatthews45 Posted August 5, 2014 Author Posted August 5, 2014 Should I wd40 them and give them a good clean? Hopefully your right its bugged me for ages Quote
amatthews45 Posted August 21, 2014 Author Posted August 21, 2014 Still not figured this out Tried all suggestions so far Quote
turbo Grant Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) If you have power up to the socket then it's the rivets I found to be the problem. Get a flat head screw driver and scrape around them to get a good contact again.You will need to do both sides of the rivets Edited August 22, 2014 by turbo Grant Quote
amatthews45 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Posted August 22, 2014 Nice one cheers will try that after I love this place! Quote
amatthews45 Posted August 24, 2014 Author Posted August 24, 2014 Sorted it and it works yayy!! Cheers! its not as bright as when I flick it to the on postion but I will give it a super clean soon Thanks for all your help Quote
