vmondude Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Ok so I was respraying my dashboards centre console and while I was at it, the interior light and elecy mirrors stopped working. So I changed the fuse which had blown, but now the interior light still doesn't work along with the cigarette lighter bulb now as well. But the mirrors do and all the fuses are now intact again =S Is there a relay that controls this lot that could have blown maybe? Here's the console though =) Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I'd swap the fuses anyway. They don't always look obviously blown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the one for the interior light is new and when I added it the mirrors started working again as they're on the same circuit. But the light still doesn't and now the lighter bulb too. But the lighter socket works my charger still. Haha it's really baffled me! Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vmondude Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 Voltage surge blew the actual bulbs? Well I was fitting LEDs for the centre and I just figured the LED for the lighter had broken in the fuss. So I put the bulb back and that didn't work either. The interior lights LED was new as well. But it may have gone but I just figured it hadn't as the lighters one didn't work either. I will check tomorrow though to be sure. Thanks for the replies btw guys!

madmole Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Plug the LED's in the other way around, most only work in one direction, which of course is always the opposite one to whatever way you try them first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have gotten the interior light working again just from removing the bulb and connections a few times. It must have been a bad connection. But the lighter bulb I still haven't got a clue, one minute it worked the next it didn't. Weird. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
