Hi all.

Really happy to be a member.Im in the UK.
My interior lights above the rear view mirror have stopped working when locking & unlocking the car.You can turn them on manually via the toggle switches but then they just stay on so I don’t think it’s a fuse issue.The one in the middle above the front seats works fine on locking & unlocking.Any ideas. Many thanks.Andy

 

did you end up figuring out your problem?? I’ve got the same issue on mine. Thought it was a stuck relay but it’s not that either

 

R57 here, I'd just assumed they were manual only. I only get the front footwell lights with the door open.
If they [overhead] can be set to work as a door open light, that wouod be great.

 

usually i press and hold the light switch toggle until lights turns off, then the interior light stays off when lock/unlocking the door. should be same process to reactivate, press and hold toggle until interior light turns on to turn lights on when lock/unlock

 

Thanks, I'll give that a try. Having some additional interior lighting would be nice, the R57 is a pretty dark cabin at night, since there's no overhead dome light.

 

Tried this today & no dome lights. Held the overhead toggle until the footwell lights turned off, no dice.
