2001 Defender 90 Td5 ST Coniston Green
Defender td5 2001 interior light permanently on
So I wired in some footwell lights for the defender using the purple/blue wire and the purple brown wire on the right hand side of the windscreen.

It was working great going on and off when ignition on and off and also when door opened.

However the interior lights won't go off at all now on all the time.

When plugged in with nanocom to operate the lights with that it just gets brighter but won't go off

I have tried a different 10as and also it appears that there is a permanent 4v supply to the wire whereas there wasn't before ? Was 0v and then when door opened it was 12v

Any ideas ???

Tried a different 10as and there is still a permanent 4v live regardless of whether there is 10as plugged in or not ? Also regardless of door opened or ignition on ...

Where could it be getting permanent 4v supply?

Did you check the door sensors? They are not the quality I expected them to be. Whistle Roel

Checked the door switches with nanocom they work fine... also tried a different 10as box still outputting a 4v supply ... can't find that on the diagram where it could be getting that from ?
