We are talking about the MGF interior rear view mirror aren't we?
The mirror that has two down lighters?
The two down lighters that are either on or on when the door is open?
As fitted in the MGF?
The MGF that has two down lighters and two foot well lights as the interior lighting?
Assuming we are.
And assuming that I am a MGF owner that knows his car quite well.
And assuming that I am a regular on several MGF forums (
www.mgfforum.com AKA
www.the-t-bar.com where I am a moderator and the MGF register) and more general MG forums (xpower and .org).
And assuming that most MGF drivers don't drive with their interior mirror mounted down lighters on all the time they must have them switched to coming on when a door is open.
And assuming that in a recent thread on one of the above forums drivers of MGF's fitted with LED's in the down lighters in the interior mirrors did actually mean that there was
no residual glow from the LED's when the switchs were switched to on when a door was open
actually meant that there
was a residual glow from the LED's then I apologise, I am wrong.
I shall go and tell them that their cars are wired wrongly and that the mirror mounted down lighters and the footwell lights should not be controlled by a relay in the BCU (body control unit) mounted behind the internal fuse box but should be controlled by the Lucas 5AS or Pektron alarm and immobiliser ECU mounted on the transmission tunnel behind the central console.
But hay ho, what do I know.
