Passenger Door Interior Downlight Failure
Hi,
I've noticed the interior downlight (the one that illuminates the handle etc) on the passenger door isn't working... the interior downlights on other three doors are all working fine. Has anybody experienced this before? Does anybody have any recommendations on how to resolve the issue? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Daniel |

Hi Daniel
Are you talking about led which is build-in into handle's housing or map light (bottom of the mirror) or mood lighting (fibre optic strip build-in into door's card) which is about 15 inches long??

Hi Daniel
If it's just one door strip while others still work then I'll say it's fibre optic light strip. It could be a connection if you know of any recent door cart strip down. You do not have to directly disconnect just that one light while removing the door cart, but connection could get knocked or whatever causing your issue. The door has 4x lights:2x 501s halogen bulb fittings and LED door handle light and fibre optic strip. Handle and fibre optic strip is feed from a door light converter which is attached to the back of the cart. If the handle's LED lighting still works then its not a converter at least as both would have not come on. Here is a second hand item from our sponsors eBay store http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-A8-D3...item1e78279558 or here is a part number if you want a brand new unit from your dealer 4E0 919 173 which should be around £45 You can easily do it your self by following part of this guide to get the door cart off (first part actually covers your door) http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=8848 On one of the pictures I've just marked for you where is the connection [IMG][/IMG]
