Boot Lights

Featured Replies

Probably asked and answered, is there a fuse for the boot lights before i get the multimeter out, everything else seems to be working fine. Tried the new LED panels and nothing. all interiors fine. Rubber boobie works as it should and locks and unlocks on the button. Google says not.

Thanks in advance

 



There is no fuse for the boot light. On your model it will either be controlled by the power save relay, or by the GEM module.

I assume the courtesy light(s) are working as normal when you open the doors. If so then open the door and just leave it open, after about 5 minutes the light should turn off. This will prove the operation of the power save relay if fitted. Otherwise the GEM turned the light off.

YES courtesy lights are fine.

cheers Uno, will try that, dont know why the GEM would turn it off

It wouldn't intentionally turn it off (although BCM's do to save battery power if the SOC is low). If your GEM is starting to fail due to water ingress then things like the boot light, screen wash pump, and dipped beam headlights are just a few of the common failures.
