Hi all,

Another minor, although annoying problem.

Range rover interior lights have a mind of their own. They come on and
sometimes go off, sometimes (more frequently now) stay on. My first
port of call is going to be the little "plungers" that show that the
doors are open/closed but i'm pretty sure that they were all ok
recently. I'm assuming that there is a relay or timer somewhere that
works all this out. If so does anyone know where it is?? Range Rover
'94 Tdi. Help!

Dave

At this point, I would like to add that these problems are in no way
attributed to the deep wading that carried out this evening.
Probably.

hehe.

see if it stops when you get it dry.

relays tend to be in the panels to the sides of the footwells, I think. Has
yours got a delay timer on the interior lights?

Yes I think that this may be the problem......... It's been playing up.
on and off for the last couple of months, or basically since i've
bought it. The previous owner had take nthe bulbs out ofthe lights and
also the fuse for the interior light system. Oh, and the cetral locking
didnt work either.

I managed to get the cetral locking working. And also to fix the
lights, but; so happy are they that they are working again they don;t
want to go off. I've just taken the fuse out again now as they are
staying on more often than doing what they should - if you know what I
mean.

I know where you mean about the location of the relays, i just need to
know which one of the little buggers is the one in question. I don't
suppose it has the east answer of having them written on them do they??

I had this problem some time ago on one light only. The wire to the door
switch connects to earth when the switch is made. The wire had come off the
switch and was intermittantly touching the frame thus putting the interior
lights on.

Dave,
If you find the answer, post it here as mine is doing exactly the
same, but only in damp weather, I'd forgotten about it with not having much
rain these past months, but now it's started again. Also the central locking
doesn't work, same model Range Rover 94' Tdi, cheers,
Martin.

On my 1983 Rangie it was located above the pedals behind the
removeable pannel.

ON my 1990 Classic it was also in the same place amoungst a bank of
relays...choices choices!

When I had cause to take the one out of my 83 rangie it had a dry
joint.. once resoldered it was fine and much cheaper than a new one
for which I was quoted money stuipd enough to make me try and fix it.

Good luck!
