Most of the answers seem to relate to earlier models etc, but nothing BA specific. Ive recently had my XR6 at the paint shop, where they replaced the drivers rear door as well as repair the rear quarter, and the day after I picked the car up, I had the roof lining retrimmed. Saturday night I was out with some mates, and all my interior lights came on and stayed on. Map lights, roof lights, and footwell lights. What has caused this? Could it be something to do with the door lock mechanism etc? I took off the trim and I cant see any loose wires etc. Or could it be something the upholsterer has done? Anything specific I need to check or replace if its worn out/broken? Ive pulled the fuse so they don't drain my battery, but Id like to get this fixed. Cheers for the help boys.

Though I could be very wrong haha Edited 12/12/16 12:41 AM by BAXRTUTE Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92745-interior-lights-staying-on/#findComment-1625005 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disconnect battery! By that logic, I could wire the lights all back to the alternator and create a closed loop system for the electrics. Id never run out of power.
