Interior lights?
Anyone had any problems with there interior light on their mk3s? Mine have just suddenly stopped working and the globes are fine and all the fuses are intact.. Are there any hidden fuses that might have blown or some sort of generic wiring problem that i dont know about?

I had to pull mine down (open it up) and solder the connection. The heat from use and age causes bad connections inside the assembly. It may LOOK good, but under the solder its not making good contact.
PS. It was a bitch to solder too. But...its been 3 years and they still work fine. And...the door switch is up there too, and it WAS malfunctioning too.

Also...use resin solder, NOT acid solder.

I had the same problem. I found the clips the car wiring connects to are crimped through the light assembly to the wires on the other side. These electrical crimps were making a poor connection. I tried soldering but the plastic started to soften. I finally gave it a light tap with a punch and it works fine.
