AUDI A3 BOOT LIGHT NOT WORKING

[secretov]

Hi

I've just joined and I'm hoping someone can help me.

I have an A3 cabriolet 2010 and the light is off in the boot. (I'm assuming it's a light) Is there a switch that turns it on and off?

If not how do I go about changing the bulb?

I realise it's a very basic issue to what you guys do, but I can't for the life of me find any info online this or in the manual? No mention of boot light at all?

Any help greatly received

Hi buy a plastic trim remover kit for eBay, gently prise the unit out and then change the bulb, I think the bulb is a 501 bayonet type but you can either read the writing on the bulb or visit your local spares shop and let them match it up.

The boot latch works as a switch for the light. I replaced mine as i had the same issue, and this fixed it. Sometimes you can give the latch a tap and the light will flicker on and off. Hope this helps.
