boot lights

[oldnick]

no , no switchable light in the boot

so, consensus of opinion is

open boot
3 lights come on
after a long time they will switch off [ maybe whatever does that is the reason they won't switch on again ...on the pump maybe ?]

can someone try the effect of pressing in the 2 switches immediately
? does that turn off the lights ? it didn't when I tried it , but why not ?...that's the same as shutting the boot lid ; or maybe they are then supposed to go off after a pause like the interior lights ?

anybody tried taking off the boot lid lining ? is that easy ?...can't see how it is done ; maybe having a look at the wiring there is a good idea , could be there is a loose connection

thanks for your offering chaps , much appreciated
