Interior Lights lesson learnt

[Grinzzz]

My interior lights went the other day. No problem thinks I, it'll be a fuse I'll sort it out at the weekend. Carried on driving, no problems at all then went to fill up when the fuel light came on. Then discovered that the fuse for the interior lights also runs the filler cover release! Good job I wasn't too far from home and had enough fuel left to get back to dig out the manual and change the fuse.

So thats my lesson learnt for the week - don't ignore anything that starts playing up!

Just for future reference grinzzz there is a red pull cord just by the battery switch where you can open the petrol flap manually

should be hanging down there somewhere , sometimes they get caught up if you have had a F1 relay/fuse changed but worth checking for future reference

Is there a pull cord for the 3200 as well?

I presume so , but having not owned one ...............maybe others can come forward to confirm or deny ...... have a good look around the inside of the wing , they all too often get caught up on something else if work had been done inside there

Yes there is. Open the flap on the interior panel in the boot where the battery sits and you will see it.

Great thanks. It's good to know these things.

Sorry to dig this up again (I'm new!) I noticed that interior light didnt come light on the 3200 I'm buying - I asked if they did and was told not. I assume from this that it could be a fuse that has failed?
