Internal Dome light, Done a really stupid thing ##!
I was wanting to order some led festoon bulbs for the interior to replace the old fillament bulbs, so I went to measure the length by holding up a measuring tape and idiot that I am touched the two metal contacts giving a spark. The bulbs then dimmed for a while then went out and now they do not work when I go to turn them on or open the car door.!
Strangely if I pull one of the bulbs out and then put it back in its holder it does work for a while.
The single map light bulb works ok still and the rear dome light is fine.
I have checked all fuses in the back and front and they seem fine.
Any ideas? or has anyone got a spare internal front light they dont want anymore !? ;(
