    Dome light delay problem

    I've been having an issue with my battery going flat, I've traced it to the interior light circuit delay function that appears to be hanging on.

    I'm having to lift the bonnet and pull the fuse every time I park up!

    My question is - does anyone know the specific location of the delay timer? I've had the dash in bits but can't find anything!

    Thanks in advance.

    Is it because one of the door switches is not showing the door as closed?

    No idea where the delay timer is, but it is the sort of thing you'll normally find in the etacs unit - that's behind the fuses concealed behind the coin tray. (Drivers right knee area.)

    Just for reference, I re-set the ECTAS by shorting the +/- and it cured the issue for a few weeks. It's back again now though, looks like I need a replacement ECTAS.

    Good work tracing the fault
    If you need an ETACS then let me know the Part Number and i'll see if the VR4 1 is the same.. If it is then i have got here for sale.
