Interior Light

[_DJ_]

Could anyone point me in the right direction of what to check to fix an inoperable interior light? The light itself works when turned on, though the doors do you activate it automatically (even with the switch set in the correct position!) I'm assuming the door switches are OK (because the car locks OK, and according to Steve's bible, it wouldn't if the doors were open). A quick check with a multimeter also checks them out OK. I've read that the light is operated by a relay - does anyone know where it's located and how I could test it?

thanks!

As we all know there are a few variations with TVRs but mine is in the fuse box assy, it is yellow and has FORD 68125. The relay switch is between pins 31L and 30 so if you link between these positions the lights should come on, confirming it is the delay unit. Of course if iam wrong, sorry!

Thanks David, that's great. I'll try that one once I can wedge myself in the passenger footwell to get to it! I spotted the relay in Steve's book, though as you say, I'll have to work out which fusebox I've got (as there were 3 apparently!).

I've just had a nosey around and it would seem that the relay is missing. According to the owners handbook the relay I need is a M0346 (Courtesy Light Delay Unit). Where's the best place to source one from, TVR dealer or electrical supplier?

Iam sure we are supposed to go to TVR! but hey if you can get it for a few quid cheaper, why not. Id phone around, sorry cant be of more help.

No problem, I need a couple of things from TMS anyway so I'll order a relay at the same time. The manual just lists TVR's part code, not the original manufacturers code so it could be difficult to track down anyway. Thanks for you help!
