Interior/courtesy light

[Ren89 0]

HI,

 

The courtesy light on my 205 gti has stopped working, i have checked the bulb and that's not the problem.

Has anyone experienced this before or can help on how to go about finding the problem?

I do have a problem with water leaking through where the light is from the sunroof so that might have caused it?

 

cheers

Before you start to remove the roof gubbins have a look at the plunger pins for either of the front doors (near the door check strap).

 

They should work independently of one another, so if only one doesn't activate / deactivate the light while the other's in the off position it'll probably indicate there's a problem there.

 

 If neither works it could still be the cause of the fault, just that both are faulty - I found both of mine had an intermittent earth because the retaining screw into the bodywork needed to be in a very specific position to complete the circuit, a new screw sorted it each.

Check the fuse in glovebox too.
