Can you turn it on manualy? The middle light (square) switch should rock back toward the rear to manualy turn it on.
If it work then you have a worn out switch. Otherwise fulse or electrical relate problem.

If it worn out: replace the rocker switch, or fix it. In my case, I took out the rocker and glued a plastic strip (~1.5mm)on the top part of the contact metal. Re-assemble.

All three lights, round-square-round, are in one unit. The whole unit can be lift out after fry off cover and the sunroof control panel.

Hi,

I drive a 750il(`88 model),I have a problem with the interior lights.
When I open the door or turn of the engine they don`t come on.
They being the front and back int. light and the 4 lights on the bottom of the doors.
However I do have a light in the glove compartment and boot and the reading lights (front and back) also work.
Also the lights under the sun panal work on the outside but not on the inside..meaning on each panal one light out of 2 works??
Sugestions would be welcome.
