Default Wiring issue

Recently I have had a problem with my interior lights not turning off, so I removed the fuse. Since then when I turn the car on the interior lights come on and stay on and turn off when I turn the car off??? with the fuse removed. Tried to turn the lights off with the switch but that doesn't work either. Since the lights have started to turn on my stereo has to be reset everytime I turn the car on. My first thoughts were a faulty earth but surely the lights should not work with the fuse removed, then the stereo should not be affected by the interior light fuse being removed.....GREMLINS

Hi Moodieblue,

Which fuse did you remove?

Do you have the Electrical Guide for the '90 model year? I have the one for '93/'94 in pdf form and would be happy to send it to you if you want to drop me your email address via private message.

Cheers,

Don

The fuse I removed was on the right hand side, not to sure if it is the same as left hand drive cars, C2 7.5A Interior,boot,u/bonnet,and puddle lamps. When the interior light stayed on they went out as soon as I removed the fuse.
, so I assumed that was the correct one until the lights came on while car was running and the issue with the stereo started,, after market stereo which has been in the car for the last year.
