Seems when I do a fairly sharp turn, my interior light comes on. Random I know
I'm assuming loose wire somewhere, anyone had this before?

Re: Dodgy Interior light
Also the 'headlights warning buzz' when you open the door stopped working at a similar time - is this connected?
Just had the 6n2 polo haynes manual delivered, will have a look through later see if I can find the offending part.

It was a laugh at first, now it's an annoyance, especially on dark nights, take a quick left off a roundabout & the whole car interior lights up.nigelelliott394 wrote:I almost want that fault... what a laugh that'd be
Thanks Alex, i've unberried my car from the snow sort of & had a look, I know the bit you mean - On the door pillar, It's got a rubber cover. Will remove the switch when the snow goes & have a look for loose wiring. Otherwise probably a new switch.
Re: Dodgy Interior light
Id have a look at the Drivers door switch as alex said.
Maybe yours has some silly technology like the new Mercedes forglights haha

I replaced the door switch yesterday and problem is fixed. No random switching on of interior light and the headlights warning buzz works again.alexperkins wrote:Drivers door switch i would say - thats linked to the buzzer!
Thanks Alex
Re: Dodgy Interior light
Is the door switch the same part as the boot switch?

Re: Dodgy Interior light
No mate. Boot switch is integral to the lock mechanism
