Rear light in cargo bay near battery not working

[Holly Bus]

To all Cali detectives. I think I may have blown the fuse for the light that comes on when you open the cargo door. Any idea which fuse it is and where it lives?

It's on a timer so check it after cycling the ignition and then opening the tailgate. It shares the same fuse as the reading lights. SC5 so unlikely you have blown the fuse unless all the reading lights(by rearview mirror) are not working

edit: shares with rear reading lights on a caravell and these are not fitted to the cali as the cali rear lights are on the camper electrics. See reply further down.

If you haven’t owned from new it’s worth checking that the bulb is fitted. Some of us have removed them as a safeguard to prevent battery drain.

The bulb works. I took out and tested it today. It should come.on when you open the tailgate. I think I did something when inwas trying to hook up connectors for the solar panel and in crawling around shorted something and the light went out... reading lights all good up front so I guess that rules out the fuse. In which case I'm stumped! Thanks for your thoughts.

It could be a problem with the tailgate switch, the door switch makes an earth connection to bring on the lamp so check for a live feed on the red/black wire.

@Holly Bus, Had another look at the circuit diagrams and there are some differences in the wiring between transporter models, so check the fuse SC19. If I get 5 minutes later, I'll go and check mine. (edit) Confirmed, SC19 is the fuse you want.

Loz you are too kind. I shall have a look. are those fuses under the passenger chair or housed elsewhere?

 

[Loz]

Under the gear lever behind the bottle cooler

Anyone know what one and where, its the ‘non cali’ light on the RH side by the leisure battery hatch.
Thanks
