Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral Interear light dosent come on when door is open

when i open my car doors the interear light dosent come on but the beeping noise works, an i also have footwell lights (ford standed 1s)an they dont come on ether. its a escort gti (1998 model)

any help would be welcome

cheers

check the fuses?

lol

there all ok an it is a new bulb in the light aswell

could be a bad earth connection

could be a fooked relay

do you know if your getting 12v to your lights?

are thay all actually plugged in?

Do you have a haynes for the car?

The door sensors are obviously working to get the buzzer sounding, so the problem will be between where it detects that and the lights - and for that a wiring diagram will be needed

It usually works on a switched ground from the door switch. when the door opens the switch connects the ground and the 12V already present at the light completes the circuit, powering the lights.
My guess is either something has been unplugged or a break in one of the cables to the lights.

cheers 4 the replys will have a look at the wires an relays in the week

It's definately the earth wire (brown) to the light!

its all fixed now it was a relay. cheers every 1

good to hear its sorted mate
