  • Interior light staying on

    I had the car in a workshop for two days last week (fitting the rear Lokka) and when I got it back I was asked if it was normal for my battery to go completely flat. Apparently they had to jump start the car. I thought they must have left something on as clearly this wasn't normal.

    I went out to the car this morning and found the interior lights were on. All of the light switches were in the door position - I tried opening and then closing all of the doors but the lights stayed on. I then tried locking the doors and they wouldn't lock. When I pressed the unlock button the doors clicked and the hazards flashed as normal but pressing the lock button would do nothing.

    I switched the lights to off and they all went off, I could then lock and unlock the doors with no problem using the buttons on the key. I then put the lights back into the door position and all was working as normal - I could lock the doors using the button and the lights then went out, press the unlock and the doors unlocked and the lights came on.

    I've searched for threads on this and found one where the lights were coming on then off for no reason and one where the doors wouldn't lock.

    Anyone had any experience of this?

    Nope, but by deduction you have a short limited to the doors registering as closed.

      Agreed, but I think you mean registering as open - hence the lights on and unable to lock. This must be intermittent though. One other thing, if the door was registering as open due to a short the warning light on the dash should be on and it wasn't.

        The doors won't lock if at least the drivers side door is open, not sure about the
        others but suspect it is the same.

        Yes, if a door is ajar the dash light would be on.

        Maybe they had the radio going and flattened the battery, this or the method of charging
        may have upset the body ECU. From memory the lights are controlled from the body ECU.

        I assume from what you have written the fault has now cleared, if so just put it down to computer
        querks!

          check your door switches, i just had 3 replaced under warrenty due to being faulty. This was causeing central locking and lighting issues with the vehicle not knowing what state the doors were in.
