Dome Light

[Malky IS200]

Hi guys

My dome light, ignition ring and footwell LEDS don't come on anymore when the doors open, however the dome light still switches on when I move the switch to ON. Is it a fuse thats possibly gone, and if so, anyone know which one it is? There is too many in the Lex lol

Do the other interior lights still work if you switch them on, e.g. vanity mirror lights, map light ?

Check the "Dome" fuse in the passenger side fusebox in the footwell.

Yeah all lights work, even the dome light, its only when the doors open it doesn't come on automatically. Will check the fuse tomorrow after work in the daylight. Cheers guys

You need to check the LED's with a meter, sounds like there is a wiring fault or they are earthing somewhere.

Did you fuse the LED's ? If they are the strips people use for headlamp eyebrows I do hope so :o

It's the 7.5amp Orange fuse in the passenger footwell, middle row second one down.........Just had to replace mine because I blew it doing something...............as Steve said it's marked "dome" on the fuse box cover......sorted.

Cheers Wozza, will check tomorrow, rainin outside The LEDS are not the headlamp eyebrows, just LED strips from Maplin.

Cheers Keith, will get a wee box of fuses tomorrow on way home from work.

Despite its name, I think the "Dome" fuse is only in the picture when the dome light switch is in the "Door" position, and isn't used when you turn the light "On". So I still suspect the Dome fuse.

actually i had my dome light fuse go steve and it stops all internal lights working totally. door lights, vanity lights etc.

He did say that the door lights had stopped working (at least that's my interpretation). I still think the dome light will manually switch on if you switch it to the "On" position even if the Dome fuse has gone, though of course I could be mistaken. But you're right that if the Dome fuse goes then the vanity lights wouldn't work.

So it seems a bit strange.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but are the LED strips newly-fitted ? i.e. the lights worked fine before but not now you've got the LEDs connected ? Just wondering if the LEDs are connected the wrong way round (they have a polarity which needs to be right or they won't come on, unlike regular bulbs).

Steve if the dome light fuse has gone it wont work even with the switch mate.

ok I'll take your word for it, I was going by what the wiring diagram shows

I have the same kind of problem with mine car. The interior light works when turned on manually but when on door setting it gets nothing. Also the ignition ring light, glove and dimmer switch don't work either. So I'm guess these are all connected and there is a brake somewhere... I've checked the door switches, traced wire as far as I could behind steering column and glove box. I tried testing the glove box light and ignition ring light but got no reading. Anyone have the diagram for this wiring or have any ideas what else I could check.
