Ke70 Door Open Light

[markhansen1983]

Ok, so in the KE70 1983 wagon there's a door open light that looks like the picture I have attached. For some reason, mine doesn't work...hopefully it's just the bulb, so i'm hoping to take it out and replace it. I've attached a couple of pictures, but basically I can't get the globe out of the casing...no idea what I'm doing wrong. Anyone able to help?

ummm...those pictures are fairly unlcear but if it doesn't work with any of the doors open it could be the globe, if it works with the passenger door then the switch needs looking at. If its a normal globe and not a festoon you need to rotate it anti-clockwise to get it out. It doesn't really happen with interior lights but it could have corrosion on the metal part so just keep working it back and forth.

i think you just pull it out but you might need to push it twist anti-clockwise and pull kinda like a house lightbulb. Checked my e7 manual as I don't have one in my car to check but theres nothing about it.

yeah mine just blew in my rolla bro, just give it a good yank and it will come out, most likely has a tad bit of rust/gunk holding it in there man
