If you have a leisure battery, check it is charged. Same happened to me very recently and a few things stopped working. Quick charge sorted it.

My AFT switch usually needs a few swings from left to right before it wakes up but is better since I gave it a clean out.

Yours might just need a clean up of the contacts to spruce it up a bit. :)


If all else fails, try a PM to one of these guys for a bulb or complete unit.

check there is power to the lamp........ there is a switch which cuts out the supply when the roof is closed.....maybe that is stuck ?...... worth checking all of the suggestions....
