interior and vanity lights not workin 97 audi a4

[dazzel]

have changed all bulbs and fuses and still no joy can anyone help

[Alan02]

I`m sure they`re intergrated with the alarm/C.L control unit in the boot. Does the C.Locking work ( Pump type unit).

[dazzel]

hi alan the central locking and alarm are workin perfect

[yaman]

Probably corroded wires and connections, under the
front passenger carpet, that lead to the ccm.

Make sure the drain under the battery tray is clear.

earth wires all ok now the fuse keeps blowing not sure wot do next

[yaman]

There's a fair chance that there is more corroded wires under
the carpet, front and rear passenger side, buried in a loom
and wrapped in tape, touching each other, so to speak :naughty:.

Some of these wires and joints turn green, which helps to
identify them.

I found the plug pins corroded too, be very very gentle if you are thinking of investigating as you can make things worse unless your prepared to sit with a soldering iron.
