ryan.. Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 All of a sudden yesterday my interior light stopped working. I've checked the fuse and for voltage on the contacts where the bulb sits. Those contacts are showing about 0.5vIm pretty stuck as what to try next, any ideas guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johngreen537 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Does the voltage change with different poitions on the switch mate?As in 0V when off, more (12V i assume) when in ON pos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan.. Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 I just checked the 2 on positions tbh john. One thing i've beed advised to check is for an iffy earth. I guess there will be one attached to the roof? It might have been vibrated loose as my install is doing 147/148db's now lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johngreen537 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Try taking the earth feed to somewhere else just to test it mate.Put the bulb in then earth it manually, just to eliminate the theory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightmaric Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Mine did this and it was due to the earthing bolt not screwed in tight enough =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan.. Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 All fixed The way the switch works is there is a piece of copper attached to the switch which when you move the switch completed different circuits. This bit of copper is held on by 2 plastic bits and one had broken causing the copper piece to come off meaning no connection. Bit of superglue and all is back to normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
