Dome Light not Working (module N70)

Hi - recently had to disconnect batteries from the car for a while whilst my BCM was getting replaced, once I reconnected everything I noticed that my dome lights weren't working as well as the roof thinking it was open when it was closed.

Scanned the car and it seems like I can't communicate with the overhead control panel (OCP - the dome light module), I've checked the fuse for this (fuse 38) and it seems okay...is it likely that it's just died? The lights have flickered before a few times in the past few months...

Does anyone have a pinout/wiring diagram for the dome light module so I can check if it's even receiving power?


, there's no communication to the

Power/ground are connector B, pins 4 & 6. Red/violet for power and of course brown for ground.

So I fitted a used dome light today, everything seems okay so the old one must have had a fault on the board...however we now have 2 new problems:

The first is that the onboard temperature sensor seems to show a strange value? I've checked the thermistor and it's showing 10kOhm which I believe is correct (goes up and down with temperature changes). Climate control seems to be working ok though? Not sure what this means.



The second is that I now get an error B1643: Component B38 (rain sensor) communication error or circuit fault and my auto wipers don't seem to be working (tested with water spray)

Any ideas?
