Mk1 Xj interior lights
« on: January 29, 2012, 10:55:45 PM »
Any one had problem with interior lights coming on/off on there own? Not being caused by door or boot switchs as have disconnected them and it still happens. Have also swopped head lamp switch with one that i know is good. What else is in the circuit? Its beginning to annoy me now :jump_125: :jump_125:

Cheers

Wish I knew its spent today turning them on and off at random times while parked up with no one touching it. I've replace all the relays that I can find. Its the fact that it will do nothing for a week then decide to put the lights on without being touched thats pissing me off.  :017:

Had something similar on my mk2, was the rear passenger door switch plunger sticking / arcing. Have a really good look at all of the contacts, new ones were cheap froma dealer  :icon_winkle:

check the door closure light switchs, these do corrode over time so you might be getting a poor connection. The lights are on a timer which go off when the ignition key is turned or when the doors are locked after parking up

Have you tried twisting the knob on the push/pull light switch?
