Aft roof light

Post by pongobongo » Sat Jul 02, 2011 10:06 am

Hi everyone,

What a day to head off into the sun with Pongo!

Anyway, roof light question.

Mine stopped working a few mths back - after replacing the bulb it's still not working. I've removed the unit and checked connections - all fine.

Is there a dedicated fuse for the light? Any advice is much appreciated.

I did have a problem with the wiring loom in the door a few years back (window probs). Could the wires run through here too?

Thanks

Hi,if you mean the light in the actual tent area it is also operated by a micro switch.The switch shuts off the power to the light when the roof is being closed.
Thanks

Sorry - yes the light in tent area. Where is this micro switch? Is it just a matter of seeing if its stuck down?

Thanks

BF member "Gripped" said in a previous thread on this subject..........

"Raise the AFT part of the way, then look on the passenger side (from the outside of the van) - you might need a step ladder, and on the end of the AFT rail at ther front there is a rubber button which activates the electric to the roof light when the AFT opens.

Press this button in and out a few times to see if the light comes on inside"
