I went to shoot some rabbits last night on friend's fields. I have 3 internal lights, front, rear seats and boot. I can turn off front with switch, but not sure how (or if poss) to stop rear two coming on when doors open. Is there a way?
thanks
 
Well, yeah probably! I was wondering if it's a setting thing which I can adjust, or worst case something I can adjust using diagnostics software. I should have been more clear! Yes I am handy with a pair of wire cutters but that's a last resort, as I am a bit too handy :D
 
Hi John, OK I said take the bulbs out but I have just been out to check my 3 roof lights in my 1999, D2 all have off switches so why does yours not???

mine have small buttons (one per light) but that doesn't turn them off when doors are open, it just turns them on when they are shut (for passengers to read with or whatever). I think black tape or bulb removal look like the best options, thanks everyone
 
You can do a trick which is not very hard, get to C0484/0102, cut the purple wire at pin 13 and insert a switch, any switch is good cos there's no big load... that's the permannent feed to the lamps so switched off they'll rest cos they are controlled on the earth path... there are cases when the wire is in other pin not 13 but it's the only pure purple one so you can't miss it

Rabbits are stupid, just drive around and they will suicide.

A rabbit once worked itself really hard to suicide as I was on a bike and could not swerve round it, it had its final wish of death by Suzuki.

WOW! What else is there to say? Except thanks SF. You Da Man. (Apologies if I 'misgendered' you, pretty sure I didn't somehow) :)

Do they not have buttons in the door jams? If so tape them down..

Cars haven't had interior light switches in the door jams for over 30 years. All cars after the mid 80s started using switches in the door latch assemblies after then.
