interior light problem
Discussion
Mine also didn't work for some time and discovered it was the door solenoid that was the problem. Have you checked that the rubber patches on the bottom of the door meet the solenoid? I don't know where the timer or relays are but would assume they are under the dash.

Sounds very minor, but can anyone tell me where the relay and timer unit live for the interior light.
mine does not work which is dam irritating when you drop something at night. fuses and bulb are both ok, so it can only be the relay or timer, but where are they.
The courtesy light delay relay on mine (2000 "X" reg) is on the fusebox, it is yellow in my case and is a Ford OE fitment.mine does not work which is dam irritating when you drop something at night. fuses and bulb are both ok, so it can only be the relay or timer, but where are they.
I assume the light switch does not work in any position?
IIRC the yellow got replaced with black if its been replaced, but it is the very tall one in the top right of the fusebox (viewed with fuses on the bottom). It is also very common for it to fallout / have bad connections - the wiggle is a good first stab. Does your light switch on manually (will at least verify bulb & power - the relay switches the ground)

Checked the door switches which seem fine thanks
Will have check the fuse box for yellow relays, I seem to remember there being two yellow relay type boxes one much larger and rectangular than the other which looks square. I would assume its the smaller of the two, is this correct? thanks for the help
I should say that the light does not work with the switch in any position and the car is an early 96

Check the bulb & positive.. first then. You need to get the light working 'manually' before assuming there is anything wrong with the more complicated bits.Will have check the fuse box for yellow relays, I seem to remember there being two yellow relay type boxes one much larger and rectangular than the other which looks square.

It may not even be connected if some butcher has had the roof hoop off

Checked the fuse box last night and found no fuse in "slot" 19 is this normal ?
Fitted new bulb to ensure that this is not the problem.
Just checked the car again and found the horn is also not working, are the two connected ?
Do they share the same fuse ?
Any advice would be welcome

Hi Shaun, just checked The Bible (p240, 2nd edition) for early 1995 cars and fuse 19 is a 10A fuse protecting Interior Light & Horn.
On p242 (late 1995 / early 1996 cars) fuse 19 is listed as 'Horns' (no mention of interior light, but it might have been a simple ommision), but it is listed as a 15A fuse!
As discussed yesterday evening, it sounds like it might have just dropped out!
