Interior lights issue.

Hi All.
I have a problem with the interior lights (MY13 TD4). When any of the doors are opened the interior lights come on and off as normal. However no light when I manually move any of the switches to the on position.
I figured it may be a fuse problem but looking through my owners manual I can't find any ref to interior lighting.
Any tips?
Cheers

I think that you will find that the on/off switch may have a different supply to that of the (dimmable) supply which works when 'door ajar' is detected. Check the fuse associated with interior lights.

Not sure of how many interior lights that your car is equipped with. Do you have footwell, puddle, map lights? FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)

Thanks Ian
The supplies are different, there is voltage on the door supply but not the other. I have the basic model TD4 with no puddle or footwell lights, in fact no wiring either.
The diagrams show an Interior light for 2012 on F17 but no fuse for interior lighting in the 2013 list. Clearly the lights must be fed from somewhere, I just can't figure out where.
Cheers

Not to forget that after some time, about 5 minutes, the interior lights will not turn on no matter how much you move the switch back & forth. It's part of the "energy management" so you don't get a flat battery.

Hi Lightwater. Yeah, knew that. There is just no volts at any time getting to the switch and I can't figure out what fuse.
There is no entry for Interior Lighting for 2013 onwards in the owners manual.
I don't really want to pull out every fuse to inspect if it's blown. Besides, everything else seems to be working OK.
