Morning, I can see you posted this twice so I will reply to this one.

I had an issue last month with both the front and rear centre lights not working (sometimes both, sometimes one and not the other and then the reverse). Sort of a weird combination of failures.

A couple of years ago I changed all the interior lights to LEDs (which is a great mod) and one appears to have gone faulty (likely a temperamental short circuit) which caused them both to fail (being on a common supply).

I changed both centre LEDs (not knowing which was duff) and there has been no issue since.

Although your's are the vanity ones, might I suggest you remove all the lamps (front, rear and sun visors) and try inserting one bulb at one location. See if you can progress from there?

If the 12 VDC supply is shorted by just one lamp (or even faulty fitting), then they will all not work.

Just a thought Thumbs Up

Oh meant to say, the faulty LED did not blow the fuse Rolling Eyes which is why I changed the lamps.

Fuse 57

Hi I think that's for a D3 ? but my fuse 57 has blown, I tried a new one and it blew straight away Sad

I have taken out all the bulbs, they are normal ones, but I need to order some more spare 10A fuses to try. looks like its a short somewhere.

looking at the diagram the relay is before the fuse, so its will not be that, the rest is just simple lights and switches to ground.

Cheers
Mark

I found that, when fitting LEDs in the interior light housings, it was very easy to push the middle of the fitting backwards through the housing. Check none have gone backwards enough to short the circuit.

Hi I haven't swapped for LED's yet. once I get some more 10A fuses, ill try with all the bulbs out.
Then put one in at a time and see which circuit causes the fuse to blow.

I don't seem to have a Glove box light, which is in the diagram, weird !

unless one of the wires is already pinched to ground somewhere Sad

Cheers

From what I remember, the glovebox light is a real pain in the hand.

Think I did a thread on it a million years ago ... I'll try and find it.
