Disco 2 Broken it already - Interior light and radio + Clock not working

Henry_b · Jul 7, 2019

As per title.

I thought i'd replace my interior lights with some LED's.

Did the front and it's ok..

Did the back and the body of the LED touched the pins and poof.

The lights stopped working and the clock and I assume the radio!!

Ehh.

Anyone any clue?

The fuse looked ok.

But i've heard of hairline cracks?

Cheers lol

Replace the fuse as the first step. It's unlikely to be anything else.

Swapped the fuses no change!!

Did you put the old bulb back in after checking the fuse? You might have blown the LED bulb anorl.

Check all fuses. Pretty sure I did the same putting led interior lamps in mine. The fuse marked as interior lights wasn't the one that was blown. I'm sure they're marked up differently between handbook and fuse box. Think I found the right one after checking about 4 different fuses.

Thanks chap.

Do you by any chance remember which one blew?

Cheers.

Not 100% certain but I think it was a 15amp on right hand side. About half way down.
Ordered a box of 100 various blade fuses from amazon for about £6. Keep it the car always now.
