All interior light failing- fuse ok (Focus LW)

mcfee03 · 30-01-2021, 08:21 AM

Hi,

My interior lighting (both back and front) are not working at all.

Fuse 60 (under glove box) does not appear to be blown/broken
Swapping with known working fuse did not fix
Bulbs appear to be good (visually not broken/burnt out)

What are my next steps to debugging troubleshooting this problem?

Thanks

fuse working so good there .... if you have a multimeter pull globes & check for resistance or just swap in a 'spare' globe to check. can also use multimeter to check for power at light base.

Thanks for that. But I don’t have a multimeter (and am pretty remote, so cant get readily. Any suggestions to try without one?

Is it possible both bulbs are out they just “look” intact?

then another way is to pull out the globe/s & use a piece of wire to either apply power/earth to one side & [depending on globe] attach the globes other wire/connection point to the other battery terminal. i have no idea what globe you have.
