Obviously you need to put the sunroof switch in the middle position to get it to open by the doors... but you knew that, just thought I'd check

I don't think there will be a fuse at fault if the lights do work on their own, so I'm not sure what it could be.. does the dashboard door symbol come on? If it does try all the contacts in the back of the light mounting maybe

hey hope this helps there is a little metal block on the inside of the switch which will be lose (Spring Knackered Proberly) mine did the exact same thing i tryed to sort it but got very mad LOL eisiest thing to do is to just to put a new light unit in thats al i did may be an eisier way to do this but hey hope it helps sum how

but wen i unlock the car

only mk2 models have the relay wired up to the central locking, on mk1 models the interior light wont come on until you open the door.

i had the same problem on mine and it took me ages to figure out, essentially its a piece of plastic between the contacts!

if you tug on the actual plastic slider switches that you can move to select which light comes on and if it comes on when the door is open they should come off. (be carefull though theres a spring and tiny bit of metal that can go flying and is a pain in the arse to find if it does)

In there you'll find a string and lil piece of metal as just mentioned, that spring and piece of metal should move up and down within the little switch smoothly, if it doesnt thats your problem, take the spring and metal contact out of the switch and just file down the flimsy plastic where the spring and contact sit, which is stopping it moving properly, then put it all back together!

Simple! you dont even need to remove the light from the ceiling!

Hope it helps!
