Vauxhall Zafira A (2005, 1.6 Petrol Life) - INTERIOR LIGHT STUCK ON - Aocal

Hi

Our Zafira interior light is stuck on, does anyone know of any common problems to cause this or any tips on where I should start looking?

At the mo i've just pulled the fuse out which is fine in daylight but obviously not at night time.

Thanks,

Adam

Hi,

Not sure what type of headlight switch configuration you have but you may have a switch facility on the switch itself. On our Corsa if you push the rotary switch in it puts the interior light on. Check the manual to see if it mentions a 'interior light on' facility you might not know about. It took me 2 hours to find out about our Corsa and as a technician...I felt a right fool!!!

Hope this helps

After all that I think we had the same thing! I don't drive the missus car very often, I was sat in it last weekend with the fuse still out and decided to try putting the fuse back in to see if the problem had fixed itself. Surprisingly it had! After reading this I think I may have been playing with the headlight switch while waiting in a car park and might have pushed it back in sub consciously??!?

Yeah I feel stupid too!

There is a delay on the interior light it will stay on for a short time or you may have pressed the buttons next to it on the panel?

No, it's less obvious that that, the head light knob which you rotate to Side lights on then main beam can also be pulled outwards. I didn't realise this and this is what makes the interior light stay on permanently.

Strange idea from Vauxhall!
