capeboy Posted September 16, 2023 Report Share Posted September 16, 2023 My rear boot light isn't working, despite replacing the bulb. Can't see any fuse for it either. Also noticed the soft top (intermittently) doesn't open (windows don't drop on release)...are these issues linked??? Any ideas what's causing them? Recommendations for changing all the interior bulbs to LED...link to supplier? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBB Posted September 16, 2023 Report Share Posted September 16, 2023 I bought my LED bulb set from @Laney456 , which came with very clear instructions and all worked well. Try PM him. A cluster of electronic issues is normally related to water ingress damaging one of the units under the carpet, under the seats. Try having a feel of the carpet and see if any part of it is wet, as blocked drains can cause this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iborguk Posted September 16, 2023 Report Share Posted September 16, 2023 (edited) Suggest check the roof latch microswitch re the window drop. Edited September 16, 2023 by iborguk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA My rear boot light does not come on, it’s not the bulb cause it actually works if switched on from a diagnostics check, so must be something to do with my boot catch or a trigger switch failing. I think the issue I have in this regard is different to yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricof Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 Windows issue could be either or some or all of: - door latch micro switch - roof latch micro switch - rear control module damaged by water ingress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul P Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 as above they are driven off the same control unit ( rear control unit ) under the passenger seat. Boot light *might* be the microswitch in the latch mechanism - cant remember if that's a seperate switch or part of the whole latch. Windows *might* be the switches in the roof latch But.... both together is a bit suspicious, would also suggest checking rear lights and brake lights are working as expected. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
