Hi all. My interior lights are not working, front or rear. I have checked the fuse (24), radio still works. Any ideas please.

I'd be interested in the answer tow - my interior lights have never worked either.
Don't know if it related but the heated seats and heated front windscreen dont work either (cig lighters work so it's not fuse 43 for the seats).

Check fuse 36 in Auxiliary fusebox.
R5 in central fusebox is interior lights - wrongly shown as heated rear screen in the handbook.

Have we checked the obvious, e.g. bulbs not blown, bulb sockets dirty / corroded, wiring / connectors / switches OK not dirty / corroded etc.
Re heaters again check wiring & connectors, also not inconceivable heating element has gone bad. I imagine heating element takes a fair bit of current so only needs one recalcitrant connector and it doesn't want to work.
We'd like it to be as simple as a dodgy fuse but Murphy's Law often says otherwise.

Yep. Tried that. Even checked for power to wiring, and it is zero.

The one immediately behind the pump relay,usually yellow,it's failure prevents all interior lights operating.
