I'll have a look at it over next weekend, but if there are any suggestions where to start it'd be appreciated.

On a side note, that may or may not be connected, the rear courtesy lights have started flashing on and off a little when they're supposed to be on. A little knock on the assembly brings it back briefly, but i obviously have a dodgy connection up there.

Hello Professor Peach.

My A8L seems to have succumbed to the same problem. I'm aware of the rear electrics being cut when you press the driver's door switch to stop kiddies playing with the rear windows etc. but that's not the problem. I've checked the 15amp fuse in the driver's footwell, and that's ok. It's the 5th one along I think in the bottom brown fuse section.

Did you get anywhere with your issue as this one has foxed me?

Cheers,
John G
