AFT Interior Light

[bikerbob]

The light does not work, have checked the bulb on a multimeter & its ok. Tried to test if there was any power through to the switch but nothing(this could be because I don`t know how to fly the meter properly)
Where is the connection block for the light so can check if loose, would the light be on a seperate fuse if so which one & where? All other cabin lights are working ok, is this a common fault with the AFT light.

Just a thought: I seem to recall it only works when the roof is up.

Yes that's true and if it still doesn't work there is a microswitch that switches when the roof is up so suspect that could be the problem. Use the search facility because somewhere there is a thread that tells you where the switch is.

The switch on the light itself can be the problem. Contact cleaner sprayed on the switch contacts solved it in my case, but it did take a while for the cleaner to do its job.

Thanks for the responses, have found the link and will check the micro switch action and also clean the light contacts.

Its most likely the switch but yes it is on a separate fuse from the rest of the AFT;

its controlled both by a switch and a transistor in the module, to enable it to be switched off when the AFT is down;

The above diagram is also a little suspect I think they have the switch shown incorrectly, but haven't had a chance to check it out yet since drawing out the circuitry in the module.
