Freelander 1 Interior Light problem

Baz24830811 · Feb 1, 2023

Hi Troops,
I have a problem with my interior lights. The boot light works and the ignition light works as dose the glove box, but the light in the passenger (back) and Front stopped working. Also the lights in the passenger sun visor is not working. The 10A fuse keeps blowing, Also runs the clock and electric wing mirrors.
Im thinking a bad earth but at this stage I'm open to any help.
Thanks
Baz

Rain gets through the aerial and into the light ,it might pay to whip the aerial off and reseal it

I,ll strip out the head lining today and check all the wiring. I will also seal the aerial .

No need to pull the head lining down. The lights and aerial can all be accessed through the light holes.

Hi Chaps,
I discovered what was the problem. If you were to Sid in the drivers seat with the head lining out, just about where the sun visor screws into there is a lump of wires going across the windscreen. The wires have been rubbing where they cross over the clip. I now have restored functionality to my interior lights now a happy
bunny.
Thanks for the pointers
