Interior light not working?

Post by Stargazer » Fri Sep 11, 2015 9:12 am

Hello Bongo Techies!
We have a problem with our interior light (middle light- long tube style bulb), we thought it was just the bulb that needed replacing but we have done this and it is still not working, please can anyone offer advice (real pain using the torch!!!) Thanks! :)

Other interior lights work? Assuming "yes", then contacts on light's circuit board fail. This fact sheet explains http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/member ... lights.pdf

Hello,
Just swapped mine for an led module, so I have the tube and pcb spare if you need it. :)

Just checking if it works in either of the two "on" positions, as I had an earth fault with mine at the plunger switch on the sliding door stopping mine from activating when the door was opened.

Took the switch off and cleaned it up and that sorted mine.

I had this some weeks ago. See if the metal contacts that hold the tube are loose. If they are just take the thing apart and resolder them to the pcb.
