Description and operationMap Reading Lamps (5 Door Vehicles Only)

5 Door Fuse 14 of the passenger compartment fuse box (C0580) provides a constant battery feed to the front interior lamp (C0355) on a P wire. When the interior lamp switch is in the normal position, the earth path for the lamp (C0355) is controlled by the CCU (C0593) via the passenger compartment fuse box (C0580) on a PW wire. The CCU will illuminate the interior lamp if it senses any of the doors are open (see 'Central Control Unit – CCU').

When the switch is pressed, current flows across the bulb (C0355) to earth on a B wire. This results in the lamp being illuminated irrespective of the condition of the door switches.

Fuse 14 (C0580) also provides a constant battery feed to the rear interior lamp (C0356) on a P wire. When the interior lamp switch is in the normal position, the earth path for the lamp (C0356) is controlled by the CCU (C0593) via the passenger compartment fuse box (C0580) on a PW wire. The CCU will illuminate the interior lamp if it senses any of the doors are open (see 'Central Control Unit – CCU').

When the switch is pressed, current flows across the bulb (C0356) to earth on a B wire. This results in the lamp being illuminated irrespective of the condition of the door switches.

Map Reading Lamps (5 Door Vehicles Only)

Fuse 14 of the passenger compartment fuse box (C0580) provides a constant battery feed to both the LH and RH map reading lamp switches (C0355) on a P wire. When either of the switches are pressed, current is able to flow across the switch to the map reading lamp bulb. Both bulbs are earthed via the lamp fixings.

Load Space Lamp

Fuse 14 of the passenger compartment fuse box (C0583) provides a constant battery feed to the load space lamp (C0119) on a P wire. The earth path for the load space lamp (C0120) is controlled by the CCU (C0593) via the passenger compartment fuse box (C0580) on a PW wire. The CCU will illuminate the interior lamp if it senses the tail door is open (see 'Central Control Unit – CCU').

Glove Box Lamp

Fusible link 12 of the engine compartment fuse box (C0575) provides a constant battery feed to the lighting switch (C0041) on an RN wire. When the lighting switch is turned to the side or headlamp position, current flows across the switch to fuse 16 of the passenger compartment fuse box (C0587) on an R wire. Fuse 16 (C0589) provides a feed to the glove box lamp (C0227) on an RO wire.

The earth path for the glove box lamp (C0235) is controlled by the glove box switch (C0238) on a BR wire. When the glove box is opened, the switch closes and an earth path is created via the passenger compartment fuse box (C0587) on a B wire.
