Well, it seems that all my problems are happening at the same time. For some reason the front interior lights aren't working using the switches. The central light comes on with the door opening/closing but will not operate manually from the switch, also both left & right map reading lights are refusing to work on their switches. I thought it may be a fuse, but seeing as the middle light comes on with the doors opening this can't be the case, any ideas?

I had a similar problem, intermittent at first and then a solid fault. It was caused by a bad earth connection on the connector to the interior light assembly. There are three connections to the light assy: 1)a 12v feed, 2)earth return via body to battery , and 3) return via Central Computer, which controls the centre light via the door lock switches. I found on mine the earth return connector was sooted up. Cleaning the contact on the light unit pcb and closing up the pins on the plug solved the problem. The interior light assy. is held on to the roof by two screws which can be seen when the plastic cover is removed. Hope this helps, Eric.

Same for me - clean up the earth contact on the pcb in the roof unit
not a big job.

Condensation gets up there, but the roof arial mount is just above - and that can leak as well

This sounds like my problem. I'll try it tomorrow or saturday.

As above clean the contacts up, check the aerial mount isn't leaking, mine was and it caused the interior lights to either dim or not work at all.
