Hi All, (33 1.7IE Series III)
The light in the boot (the round one) has never come on. I wonder how it is supposed to work.
Is it supposed to be a purely manual affair (by turning on the light with a twist of the casing), or is there some detection of when the boot is open (I can't find anything!)
Taking the light out of its hole (with a yank!) reveals two spade connectors to the rear of the unit, but I'm not getting any voltage between them.
Any ideas?!?!?!
Thanks!

Hi,
first turn on your lights,even the park lights, and then rotate the casing and normaly it should come on.
Hope i helped  |

Same goes for the light in the glovebox. I guess Alfa knew they couldn't design a reliable switch to turn the light on only when the boot was open, so they had to make it work off the headlights instead.  |
