Light Problem td5

It sounds like the switch has broken up internaly. If you remove it from the vehicle you can actually see into the back of it to confirm this.

if it's the same switch on the column as the older defenders, it can fail - I had one melt, and I also had a replacement Britpart (which appeared identical construction) which had an erratic contact in one of the rivetted joints, which I solved by soldering it.

Have a 1998 300 Tdi that had the same problem when the switch broke up. Had it replaced, but the catch is that it had a resistor in it to meet Euro liggting regs and dimm the light when switched off. So not a straight forward new switch has to be LR item !!

Thank you , i think that you will be right. I'am going to do what your are saying, and i will see.
