Reading lights stuck on?
Hi guys,
Both of my rear reading lights stay on permanently and cannot be turned off by the switches.
They were getting hot, so I pulled fuse #3 to switch them off for now.
Any suggestions as to what could cause this?
Surely it's unlikely that both switches failed at the same time?
Thanks

First, you should not be reading while driving.
The switches could both bad. Won't know until you pop out the assembly and test them.
You could also have a bad rear door switch or short in the wiring harness to the door swiches.

Thanks Moviela,
I put the fuse back today and everything is now working as normal.
Not sure what fixed it, but a stuck door switch that sorted itself with use would make sense.
