Sorry it's the top interior light above the right hand side rear door all the other lights come on when I open the door I think the switch is buggered I can hear a buzzing noise inside it the globe does work. The switch doesn't click very well like the other 1.

The Buzzing noise is behind the light switch must be shorting out the car is a Ghia it has lights above the rear doors too I'll pull the switch apart and have a look thanks for your time.

it's probably not shorting out ... most likely not making proper contact. hopefully i helped.

Yep unless a bee is stuck in your light it shouldnt buzz. Maybe its arcing because of a loose contact as Mad said.
They are s**t switches.

no probs. how did you go?
the light is actually very easy to remove. on the light end (clearish plastic light shines thru) if you look closely right at the end there is a small slot that i put the head of a small screwdriver in to push the clip out of the way so the light can pivot (switch goes down & other end goes up). you can then remove the actual light/switch to replace the globe etc etc or unplug from wiring loom. don't lose loom piece back in headlining as it can be a pain to retreive. |
