Boot light, Is it a fuse or globe ? Options

[DaveQB]

Hi all.

I know dealerships unplug the fuse for the boots internal light as they have the boot open and dont want to drain the battery. So my boot light doesnt work and the globe "appears" to be ok.

But nothing else electrical is out, so could 1 fuse be in charge of the boot light ?? If so .... any tips/hints ?

Thanks

if its a hatchback... there should be a switch on the light... figuring you tried this... you might want to take a quick look at the connector directly behind the light itself... just pull the plastic back and look... sometimes the pins get a little bent and they don't match

Yeah fiddled with the switch. So the connector the globe hooks into or are we talking further back ?

its behind the entire assembly, its where the wiring connects to the assembly.... you have to either pull the whole thing forward away from the black plastic with a screwdriver or pull the whole black plastic forward... the courtesy lights (doors - red - bottom of door) are on the same fuse as that light

Ahh thanks mate. So its definitely not a fuse then, cause those red courtesy lights are all working for me.

I'll take a look at it and maybe try a globe.

Thanks!!
