c180k w203 - dome lights issue
 
Hello,

I have a strange issue with the dome lights (both front and rear) on my '02 C180K (W203).
When the engine is not running and I open the doors, the dome lights doesn't come on or they blink.
When the engine is running, everything is normal.
I own the car for 4 months now and this problem started a couple of months ago.
Just to mention that the battery is new.
Any help please?

Kostas.

Thanks for the reply but do I have to check the rear SAM for fuse failure or something else???
PS: It is happening with all doors!!!

It's not a fuse failure---it may be a rear SAM failure or it could be an overhead control module issue--to make the determination(not a guess), you test it with DAS Xentry or equal.


and you actuated all the door switches and the dome light went out yes or no???

Sorry for not posting earlier... father of 14 months twin boys :)!!!
When all doors switches are actuated, the dome light is going out with engine off!!!
With engine on or with the key in 2nd position, everything is normal.
Anyway, a friend will check it soon with STAR.
I will keep you updated.

P.S.: Another issue, wipers and wash pump don't work after battery change, even if I kept the car live with a slave battery!!!
Fuse 46 is ok, need to check the relays, but again I have to check with STAR.

Thanks for everything!

Hi Kostas71

I have the exact same problem as you. I have been reading all of the forums and you are the only one I have seen with the blinking interior lights when the ignition is off.

Did you solve the problem?!!
