Interior Light
« on: 27 February 2010, 18:26:07 »
Hey guys,

The inerior light in my Omega doesn't work. Any ideas why this may be or how to fix it ??

Its a 98' and has two switches but three bulbs. Only the bulb on the left works (the small circle). How do you turn the main big light on ?

Thanks,
Kris

You tried pulling the headlight switch outwards?

Does it push in then??

If it does, then the lamp is rubber ducked, most likely....  On the plus side though, you now know how to switch the lamp on and off.....   ;)   :y   8-)

I got a secondhand indicator switch from   serek  on this forum. Perhaps you will be able to get the headlamp switch rather than  buying new.
look in / leave post in parts bit

I've changed all three bulbs and still nothing. The headlight dial just doesn't seem to pull out.

As said, it's goosed or already pulled out. Vauxhall's interior light shave been switched like this for years, late 70's that I know about.  :y
