boot lights

[oldnick]

have been having a problem with electrical leak ...hopefully cured but still a small loss...maybe [ the microswitch that ejects the casette in the CD stack was stuck ]

but not sure there isn't a problem on the boot lights

didn't realise that the boot lights come on when you open the boot even when no other lights are on ....but while working on the battery/fuses there have noticed that the lights were off , at least part of the time [ not really paid attention ]

today went to check battery voltage , opened boot , noticed lights came on .alles gut
tried the effect of pushing in the two micro switches on the boot lid ...lights stay on even after a minute or two !!!!

is this correct ? is there a timer on this ? can't imagine why there should be

update ; just went and opened the boot to make further check on battery voltage ...not only had the lights gone out , they didn't come on !!! tried flicking both microswitches ...no difference ; presuming feed is from central locking module , checked central locking operating ...OK
had a look at the fuse reference in the handbook ....boot light not mentioned ! anyone know ?

m'aidez , m'aidez ! [ or mayday , mayday if you prefer ]
