Hi all!

is there a common fault with interior light and map lights on the early classic wrx?

mine don't work anymore! and it's not fuse

also ciggie lighter stopped working


anyone got any ideas as to the problem?

 

Double check your fuses.

Had non functioning map lights on my mates 2000Turbo earlier this week. We just removed the frosted cover and as soon as I touched one of the bulbs it came back to life. Strange problem - easy fix.

Good Luck
Dave

 

cheers Dave!

no, definately not fuse.

I've wiggled and pushed bulbs/fuses etc and ...nothing

all went at the same time (car was off the road......damp maybe)

 

I'd get my hands on a voltage meter or at least a test probe to establish weather the power is reaching said lamps and *** lighter.

 

i to had this problem, a firm wack saw it working for a bit but now its stoped again!

 

I only have one problem with that


where do I whack it ........cheers guys


ooh by the way there is no power going to any of the said components.

 

^^^bump on behave of sponners^^^

 

bump again

 

right, so no voltage. Have you checked for continuity to ground? Continuity from the fuse location to the light??

It could be a break in the 12v feed. It could be a break in the -ve lead or if the fitting grounds directly to the roof of the car could be a dodgy connection there (that would probably be the case for those using the Fonz fix-it method!)

As long as you are absolutely sure that the fuse and bulbs are intact (again double check for continuity accross them)

 

hahq - mine went too. bloody things...

 

As said dont just look at the fuses and asume there ok. Check them with a metre. Either check you have voltage both sides of the fuse or check for continuity

 

righto, I'll double check everything and do a continuity test!

hopefully I'll find the problem!


cheers for your help guys
