Sometimes my interior light delay works and sometimes it doesnt. I diont know where to start looking. As far as i know its a standard bit of kit.

Help much appreciated.

Doesn't work in what way?

sometimes i shut the doors and lock up and the light stays on for a few seconds and sometimes it doesnt, it just goes straight off.

Just read back through my post and it wasnt the clearest. sorry.

There's a switch incorporated into the outside door handle. Does this switch have any effect on it?

I have had my door handles off recently and i didnt notice any switches

If the delay is OE, there should be a switch! Delay unit won't work without it, or if it's connection isn't bypassed.

i assume the switch is located on the door handle; in relation to the say door heater too??

im going to try and get my interior delay to work as well; can hear my unit click! but the lights just go ON or OFF; no fading rellly?!

The don't fade they just switch off after about 6-8 seconds or until the engine is started

yea mine dont fade they just stay on for a few secs. sometimes!!! lol i will have the handles off and take another look. i hear the click in the passenger foot well so i know i have it.

My car is a very unmolested example so nothing will have been bypassed.

I'll will let you know my fidings. Thanks for the help.

the click coming from the passenger side could be the relay that controls the ability to operate the windows and sunroof without the key being in the ignition

My convertibles the same. Sometimes the delay works, sometimes it doesn't. There seems to be some kind of pattern to it but I havn't had a chance to try to work it out.

Delay module is in the driver's foot well.
