I gave up trying to suss out the boot lights. Changed all bulbs to LEDs and they stopped working all together!
I now have the closest one as LED and the other 2 festoons and it all works OK. If I remember I'll stick a grandwean in and see how long they take to go out ![]()

![]() so what switches the lights on when you lift the boot lid ? maybe a mercury switch like the bonnet on my 5 cyl 20v but then the lights would go out when I shut the lid ...how do I find out if they do ![]() could be there isn't a timer after all [ as I said before , can't see a logical reason for one ], and the problem is just a faulty feed or switch , sometimes the lights come on and sometimes not , also why the lights will go off after a long time maybe you have the right idea sloss , if at first you don't succeed ....give up ; what's a grandwean anyway ? |

I think there's a switch linked to the boot catch somehow.
No doubt someone here will have the details, I've no idea where it is.

Wean - scots for child.
The microswitch is in the boot catch itself for the lights if I remember rightly.

as they say where I live ....voila !
the microswitch IS indeed in the boot catch , opened boot , quick spray of silicon oil , locked /unlocked it a few times [ unlocks by pushing the button as usual ] , lights come on every time !!!! even more important I shall be able to pursue my search for a current leak by lifting the lid and locking the catch to put the boot lights off so no current drain from them and HP ....I opened the barn door a bit wider to let in today's brilliant sunlight ....and found a lot of well disguised screws ; funny that thanks to all for your help |
