Fault in the lighting?
« on: October 27, 2004, 18:04:19 »
It's been happening for a while I know, but now it's getting silly. What you ask? Well when I switch on my lights, I used to have to wait about 10-15 seconds for the interior/side/running lights to come on.

Dipped and main are fine.

Of course, now it's dark and wet - it's taking 15 minutes to fire up - and running in the dark with no tail lights might make me a prime candidate for a tug from the law. On an unrelated note, the rear wiper has a mind of it's own too :(

Anyone got any idea what could be causing this????

I'm wondering if it could be a sticky relay (do those lights have relays, or have Land Rover just run everything through a switch, again?)

Personally, I'd try the old favourite trick of dousing everything that moves in switch cleaner.

Hi Neil i tried to talk to you last night while on msn but didnt manage it.

Do you have dimdip on yours and if so take out the relay it is under the passenger side and see if that helps that was what caused mine to be like that.
