I have bought and sold a new interior light like 3 times previously, so I decided it was time to fit the darn new item I had bought last week.
The wiring as it was left after the last respray.
Some thinners later....
So light would not work after installing it. Started testing the wiring and traced it back to the engine bay area, where the inline fuse no longer had the top part and correct wire to connect. I remembered that I had a brown wire under the dash that was connected to nothing, turned out to be the wire that was needed to make the door switches and interior light work. After some soldering and re-doing the loom tape.
I finally had some success, this light had not worked for nearly a decade....

Own some minis, break them, fix them, improve them, test them to the limit....
