Hi,

It looks like there are interior lights in the driver's and passenger's foot wells.

Before I start checking fuses and bulbs, are these normally "live" or an option and when are they suppossed to come on?

Neither of mine seem to work, but I can't think what/when they are for either.

Thanks
Graham

should come on with overhead interior lights when opening the car iirc

should come on with overhead interior lights

only the side for the door that's been opened will come on

Cheers.

as always it's a pleasure

Hmm. Both footwell bulbs OK. No other electrical items not working, so fuses ok - quick visual inspection confirms this.

Wiring diagram anyone?

bttt

Graham, u have PM

OK, I now have a diagram.

Diagram identifies lights I am troubleshooting as Left and Right Foot-well lights.

Note left and right are the wrong way around for a RHD car. Drivers side has the dual Grey/Red cable that feeds the power to the passenger side.

I have eliminated the bulbs and every fuse in the dashboard fuse panel.

There is continuity in the cables where I would expect it.

I put my meter accross the Grey/Red supply (door open, over head interior light on) and grounded it (eliminating door switch and wiring - correct?) and there was no voltage - well something like 0.8, but nothing near the 12 you would expect.

So no power. The cables dissapear up behind the dash past the relays and fuse box area so I could not trace.

The diagram shows the power comes from the "Warning Lights Control Module".

Does anyone know where this is? I is a plug in and out relay type thing?

The diagram shows the live feed from this module also powers various "door warnng lights". What are these? I have never seen a door open warning light on the dash? Can anyone confrim what these are?

I personally think I may have a faulty "Warning Lights Control Module", but have no idea what it looks like and where it is! If I knew those two and it's cheap enough I'll replace it.

Any ideas people?

Thanks
Graham

when you open a door with the ignition on the multi-function display in the dash should change to a plan view of the car showing the door or bootlid which is open.

OK - I don't have this!

UNLESS pre-faceift cars didn't have this (can anyone confirm?), I think the warning lights control module is looking like my man!

I'll try my local dealer parts dept. with just the description "Warning Lights Control Module" but I fear problems without knowing where the part is 1) to be able to identify it correctly and 2) to replace it!

It seems nobody knows about this - perhaps not a common fault.

I spent a while at Keith Garages (Aylesbury) today with the parts guy and a tech trying to identify the part on their system.

The best we could find was wa relay described as "Door Entry Light Relay".

I have ordered this part (only £16) no. 4D0907131 that goes in a relay box I have a blown up diagram of in location 1/382 !?!

I have my fingres crosed this is the part and I can find it to replace it, but it may not be correct - I'll let you know in about 10 days when it arrives.

The part found on the parts computer described as "Door Entry Light Control" was a relay marked 382.

If found and replaced relay 382. Would fuse 382 be unique or would relay type 382 be a common part? Unless I replaced the wrong relay 382, this was not the right part to replace as I still have the fault

Relay 382 was suppossed to be in position 1, but it was in a posisition marked 3 - there did not seem to be a position one. Are there more relays other than the few under the dash near the fuse box? - as there are only a few there and I would have expected to see more.

I am pretty stumped as to how to fix this now .......HELP!

Pre-facelift does not have the plan view of the car on the DIS when a door is open

You could always wear one of those mining lamps when you get in your car in the dark.

Sorry I cannot be of further help.
