Here's an interesting electric problem for you.

I call, once again, on everyone's good advice. I have a Freelander 1 XeDi 2000 reg. The lights in front of the sunroof are not working properly.

When I lock/open the car with the fob they do come on and turn off in a nice progressive way, but when I try to press the button to turn them on when I'm in the car they won't come on?

Is this a normal fault and is there a fix?

Kind Regards,
Stefan.

Not heard of it before but the cables behind the lights may have come away from the switch.

Cool I'll check it out this weekend.

i assume you mean the button on the light and not the fob buttons...

yeah

That's the Earth issue that you referred to in the other thread about interior lights

how's does the plastic casing come off?

If I remember correctly

pop the lens covers of with a small flat bladed screwdriver
and then there are 2 screws holding the unit to the roof

cheers fella, will try it. I have the haynes, but always worth checking out with the forum first.

I think that should be t'other way round.Check the book of beans first,then ask silly questions in here .

Do please let us know if you find the cause of the problem.Look at the book, it explains how to remove the interior light.
