Hi All,
the front map reading lights are not working when pressing the button. Actually all three are not working.
I first thought because the backseat ones were still not back installed, but no changes. Anyone's got an idea what it could be? The clock is working, fuse 14 is ok, the light when opening the door as well, but not when using the switch.

Normally the aerial base leaks, which drips water onto the interior light circuit board, causing corrosion and bad connections.

The switches on mine are temperamental. I don't think there is much that can be done

Oh come come now!! Everything can be fixed. Switch cleaner on contacts for plug and for the switches. Adjust contact springs, clean tracks, stopping water getting in. Etc.....

Fixed or live without!
Or I fix it, fix it again, break it then live without.

Yes, agreed, Andy, will try, but a had motorbike once where the cable gas kept hanging and a friend had written to Honda, never got it solved and sold it eventually. Is switch cleaner the same like electronic contact spray? Amazon product
@Nodg68 couldn't see any water, but check the rest from Andy as well. The rear one seems to have loose cable, works and works not, front at least only the door one works. Had the headlining off to renew the fabric once and didn't recognize that it stopped working.
