    Hi all.I was wondering if someone could help me.I replaced the fuse for my interior light,and my wiring loom caught alight.I fixed the wiring, but left out the wire that feeds the interior light which has a short.The car is a vn.Does anyone have a circuit for the interior light.and does it have a relay or module.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Cheers

    Just going off the VR here as it might help. There possibly are some differences though.

    Power goes straight to the interior light through a fuse. It is grounded by using the headlamp switch (manually turn it on) or otherwise is controlled by the BCM (Body Control Module). Power runs up the frame of the car, next to the windscreen on the drivers side. Simply pop the plastic piece out of the way to get access.

    If your familar with a multimeter you shouldnt have too much trouble, otherwise it might be a job for a auto elec.

    Thanks for your help mate.I traced the wire back to the loom plug and disconnected it because of the short.Where would I find the module?cheers
