Reading (map) lights not working

Post by MostlyMonki » Tue May 19, 2020 4:47 pm

Hi all, I've only had the car for a week so its entirely possible I've just got something turned off that I havent worked out yet, but my reading lights front and back arent working (all other interior lights work fine).
Theres no fuse for them I can find, so any ideas on what it might be?

Have you changed the setting of the interior lights mode switch? It's the centre switch in the light module - I may be wrong with the left/right setting, but left is off, right is on and centre is 'smart' where the interior lights are triggered by unlocking the car (and a lot of other stuff - it's in the handbook).

Yeah tried it in all positions just in case, the map light switches wont work in any (and the rest of the lights works as expected in each position).

Long shot - fuse 8 in the black fuse carrier in the boot.
