Hi,

Recently bought my chim and love it... it does however need some tidying and a little TLC and I am starting to find my way around it.

Just tinkering with the interior light, It wont switch off when the doors close, I have check the pads on the door and replaced them. When I press the door switch from either side I can hear the relay clicking although cant find it!!

Talking of finding things.. where is the fuse panel?

Its an early model '94 400

KENHIND,
I have same problem no light but all else seam s o.k. had slight problem with closing door and it flattened battery, I put car in lock up and when I went to take out folowing week it would not start, because the garage is covered with cctv cameras I dont alarm car but when but I noticed the alarm was activated and sounded as I opened garage door, on checking drivers door it was closed but not shut, batt was also flat, the car has a new battery on it so can only assume that the interior light cicuit was open, any ideas !!.

Cheers KENHIND

It's in the passenger footwell, cleverly located so that it's virtually impossible to reach.

Thanks Derek... Reach it?? I cant even see it! Is it near the battery or further up?

Also - What is the black box that sits under on top of the tunnel under the trim around the door opener?

Mine is all on top of the battery.

Remove the cover at the end of the footwell and all should be revealed..

Great Thanks, found it!! All the fuses are intact so that is ruled out. The door switches are flicking the relay although the light does not go out??

Been playing with the central locking and trying to work it out...

If I operate the key pressed half way in from either door, the off side solenoid operates therefore locking the drivers door, the immobilser is armed. However the near side solenoid does nothing... connectors to solenoid appear ok. In addition the right indicators flash twice... but the left stays on until I unlock the door??

The button in the top of the door release does nothing!

Not sure where to start lookin here - anyone any ideas?
