Its worth taking the whole unit out and clean the contacts
Failing that it’s a whole new unit

Same problem in my 51 Td4 ES 5dr. I tried prising the unit out of the headlining but couldn't. The rear edge comes down OK but it felt like something might break if I pulled any harder to get the unit out. Any trick to doing this?

The headliner is attached to a series of clips around the unit,
Insert a flat bladed screwdriver to prise the courtesy light unit from the lining, then pull bulbs

This is going to sound odd, but "map reading lights"? Where? TD4 ES 2002 I have no such thing (and now feel like I'm missing out)
Three light switches above the mirror - no?
LR jokingly call the outside 2 'map-reading lights'.
My 2004 HSE has them - maybe earlier or other spec don't.
Better not mention my rear doors then, or some folks will want some of them too! Ha Ha.

That's where my "sunglasses holder" is
Rear doors?!?
Sunglasses - Ah, you must have the rare 'Southern' model for use in areas where the sun may shine.
Up here in the far North where it is dark for 18 hours per day we need map reading lights or we get lost all the time.

I knew it - people will be wanting to fit after-market rear doors next, and wire them up to the map-reading lights having sold their sunglasses on eBay.
Ha Ha Ha!
Ha Ha Ha!
