    fix for interior lights?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    The interior overhead lights for the rear seats and the rear avant cargo lights are still not working with new new bulbs installed. Is there a fix to get them working again?

    Are you getting power to the sockets? Do the lights work with regular bulbs? Have you tried reversing the LED’s? They only work in 1 direction.

    I have LED bulbs installed. I tapped on the housing for the cargo lights and the lights briefly turned on then went off. The same thing happened with the overhead lights for the rear seats. So I'm guessing it's a switch problem?

    I would think it’s a bulb fitment problem. Try your old light bulbs again and see if they work. If they do, then compare the shape of the bulbs and see where the issue is. If it flickered on, you are almost there.

    I found out why my interior lights are not working properly. Both switches have broken solder joints.

    This switch is for the rear seats.




    This switch is for the rear cargo.
