electrical problems

[mrb27]

hey all, im almost certain that im going to be hated for what ive done but i got soooo peeved with the constant locking/window/mirror/int light problems that i have now completely removed the multi socket from the driver door pillar and re-wired the lot....

and im happy to say it all works a treat,

except 1 small thing.. now since ive ownd the car ive always had no interior light when i open the driver door, window switches have always light up, and also i hear a click in the glove box when i operate the switch.
passanger door fires the light up no problem. and now, even after ive re-wired it all, still the problem is there, window switches light up, click from glove box but no damn light lol

any ideas why guys?

Does the light work on the manual switch?
Do you have an interior light switch off delay module? (Relay sized box, clipped to the same bracket that the locking ECU is screwed onto.)
Check the position of the wires in the interior light. The red/green must be connected at the end of the light opposite from the switch.

the light works manuly, passenger door fires it up fine and i do have a delay module, the driver door switch does make a click sound that comes from the glovebox too. ill pull the light out and check the wires in a min

thanks

The problem will be something to do with the delay module in that case!
Does the central locking work correctly?

[mrb27]

ok, just checked the wire in the light itself, and indeed, the red/green is furthest away from the switch. and yes, the central locking works perfect, everything in that fact works great, just not the light when driver door is opend

This looks like a problem with the delay module itself, or the switch on the driver's exterior door handle.
The door handle switch is an unnecessary complication, IMHO, and I suggest you cut the wire to the TG terminal on the module a couple of inches from the plug, then join the stub of wire from the plug to the wire that goes to the TK terminal.
See if that helps.

[mrb27]

sorry, what do you mean TG and TK?

[Brianmoooore]

Terminals marked on the delay module. Wires are brown/something, but I don't have the exact colours to hand.

ok ill try that
