Title: Interior lights: in the dark!
Post by mijfife on Mar 3^rd, 2008, 11:39pm

As part of the big interior change over, I replaced the headlining on the TD estate today. The first surprise was all the mouse droppings that fell out, apparently my Scorpio has been home to a rodent family in the past!!! Fortunately they seemed to prefer chewing on the headlining backing rather than the wiring!

Once everything was refitted, I connected up the three interior light units but none of them are working now :( The puddle lights, interior mirror and floor lights are also not working (everything was okay before) I've checked fuse no 24 (interior lights and audio system) and it seems fine. I run out of time so I'll work my way around the fuse box tomorrow and check all the fuses but is there anything else I should be looking at, relays, etc? I double checked all the connectors are on the light fittings and everything looks as it should. I see from the fuse box diagrams that fuses 16 & 17 cover 'Electronics' seems a bit vague, what electronics are these exactly?

Cheers Jim

Check fuse 36, power saver in the Auxillary fuse box, that went when I took out the roof light.

Spot on diagnosis Tompion, fuse 36 was the culprit, many thanks for that :)
