BOOT LIGHT?

CHAPMANLOT · Post by **CHAPMANLOT** » Sun Apr 29, 2007 21:17

I have a 89 WHite Excel (Monaco White... is it?) I cant see the boot light - where is it - nothing comes on at night.... there is a switch under the right boot hinge which depresses when closed - so it must be fitted somewhere.

Im only just learning about cars - so please be patient...

The boot lamp is located beside the lock catch mechanism in the centre of the boot wall (not the lid, the other bit). Probably just needs a new bulb, but may also be a blown fuse.

Many thanks for your quick reply - I will have a look tomorrow and see what's going on.

Also check the boot light switch which on mine is located by the hinge mechanism on the driver's side. They have been known to stick/malfunction.

cool - I can see the switch - it moves ok - but I'll check it again when I've looked at the lamp - I spent 10 mins looking for the light fitting - blast...

Purchased lamp bulb -75p - replaced bulb - refitted lamp and housing... light works fine...

A powerful lamp though.. wondered if it was drawing too much juice...
then I realised i was suffering from amateur dabbler syndrome...

many thanks for help.

Lets hope its JOB DONE!
