Hi,

New here, just wondered whether there was a simple answer to a little problem.

All interior lights are permanently on.

The door sensors all work , on the dash when a door is open.

The puddle lights work as they should, door open lights on door shut lights off....

Just trying to rule simple things out, just keep thinking its the BCEM, as the earths are switched to control the interior lights.

Map / reading lights work to.

Any help would be appreciated.

If you have them set to off that's what they'll do it's manual mode. You have to get the SET message then they should work.

Just had another go.

Push the centre light switch.

Display says lights on
continue to push goes to lights off.

release switch.

lights still on, open close door no difference

try again the message comes up with the selection I made last time.

Doesn't come up with window not set type message of interior lights set.

Am I missing something , would really like an easy fix.

j the range · May 2, 2011

Yes its charged and only a few months old.

Now starting to sound expensive

How did you fix the BCEM?? Cost??

discomalc · May 4, 2011

Mine needed a good charge and it sorted itself.
I would get the fault codes read by an independent LR specialist, see what comes up, people on here will be able to tell you what they all mean.
If it is the becm Irish Rover is the man to talk too on here.

There is a fuse you can pull as a quick fix cant remember which one , take a look at rave.

Disconnect the battery for at least five minutes, then reconnect. you will then have to reset the windows and sunroof which is in the handbook !
