Interior Light

[alanred]

After leaving my interior light on all night it's stopped working !
When i open the doors (both) the puddle lights come on, but the interior light will not work at all, even if it's switched to on. After locking the door i get the red flashing led, and if i open the door with the headlights on i get the buzzer, so i can assume that the micro-switch in the door is ok.
What i need to know is, has anyone had to buy one of the light units and how much are they ?

Thank you.

Have you checked the bulb?

[alanred]

Yeah, checked the bulb it's ok. Took the light out of the car, rubbed the electrical points on the back, put it back and it's working now ?
Top notch build quality

Thanks anyway.

Does th 9N have footwell lights? If so, could have been referring to them

[GT_Raven]

if it does mine must be broken

I dont have a clue mate, I've never been inside one, thats just what I thought of when a 'puddle light' was mentioned.

Go on, talk to us about your puddle lights - please! I've got them on the Passat but never thought about the Polo getting them.

[alanred]

Just a small light, bottom right hand corner of the door card. If i get chance tomorrow i'll post a picture, It's P***ing down right now.

[pip_polo]

hammering it down here too

Is that not just a reflector? How do you remove the festoon bulb from the interior light? It has blown the two map lights work but the festoon one in the middle has gone off.
