Bulb blown in interior light fitting?
Bulb not connecting properly?
Fuse?

I reckon it's a case of RTFM

Sounds like the door switch/sensor packed in - indicating the door is open when closed and affecting the interior light operation - won't be in the FM

thats the **** take... if everyone got told to RTFM, this place would be empty, and its ignorant.

were here to help people not patronize them ffs.

telling people to RTFM instead of giving a constructive answer should be banned off here full stop.

rant over.

I have the opposite at min... The light will come on with door open, but not with the on/off button, also the switches in the unit themselves are no longer lit...

Still never found out why but was caused when fittin the rear, but I've checked all the ribbons and there fine and so is the unit itself as I've swapped between my cars to check, so first I'd check your unit, then the ribbons, then you'll be as lost as me if its non of them...

Pay no attention to the RTFM, someone's probably used it on Woodpeck before or he's just found out what it means, whitty sarcasm doesn't translate well on forums

lol

RTFM won't help haha, mine did this and was one of the door switches, a quick clean and all is well

It's probably not even listed in manual

its more than likely door switch unfortunately it comes as part of lock

Can't remember, can you switch interior light off/on/on doors open? Or maybe bulb blown surely not door switch as otherwise how would the display know one was open?
