View Full Version : Random on-off of interior light

Over the last few weeks - about a few months since I changed all my interior cabin lights over to LED ones - I've begun to have an intimittent problem with one of the bulbs.

The one over the driver's seat switches on and off when it should - but also at random when the car is alarmed and locked, just that one light will come on for how ever long it fancies to and goes off when it wants to. If this happens and I spot it and unlock / lock the car it behaves itself.

The driver's door light on the dash never comes un during the hassle.

Am I thinking perhaps there's a fault on just this one bulb? Sometimes if I 'solve' the problem by switching that switch to 'off' for that bulb it still comes on at random!

Sounds more like a faulty switch to me: take the light out and put a bit of tape over the switch earth (i.e. the bit that "overrides" the door switches). It'll stop the built in switch working, but if it solves your problem you know what needs to be replaced / fixed.
