Hi All,
I have a slight problem with the Discovery (1994 300tdi) The other day after parking the discovery up I came back to find that the interior lights were all on although the doors were all shut! The only way to sort this was to take the bulbs out of the light fittings, since then I have done some investigation but am still at a loss as to where the fault is located.
Firstly, although I have tested the continuity on all door switches I have ruled these out due to the fact that the interior lights should automatically power down after a certain amount of time or when the ignition is switched, however this doesn't work.
Wondering if there is was a problem with the Multi Function Unit I replaced this, but the problem still exists.
Another thing which I have observed, which is a little strange is that if I am driving along and switch the front light to door now and then the light will remain off as it should but after 5 or so seconds will then turn off. Additionally, I have noticed that during this 5 seconds when the interior light is off the ignition light will also go off, but this will then turn on again when the interior light does.
Also, if you are driving along with the light on and go over a bump the lights will flicker.
I wonder if anyone has any experience with this kind of problem or has any suggestions?
Regards
Tom
