Technical How to repair boot light.

[janco123]

Hello all.
I have a big great problem :/
My boot light stooped working, tried swapping with a new one but it allso doesnt work. When the boot opens the light for showing "hatchback open" comes on but there is no light in the boot. What to do? Is there a special fuse for this light? I've read in the manuals that the fuse for boot and front cockpit are the same, but the cockpit lights are working. Checked the wiring a bit but all seems ok.
Thanks.

Hi again.
I must say I took almost the whole car apart searching for a bad connection and at the end it was a problem in the lock.

I took the plastic on the boot door off and unscrewed the lock from the door. There were wires (4 pin) atached to the lock. I took the pin out and sprayed a bit with contact spray.

And now the light is finnaly working!

I hope this helps for everyone having the same problem.

I've just realised that my boot light doesn't work either!! Then again, not much does... Think they saw me coming! I still love it though!
