All interior lights are not working on my 2007 sprinter, bulbs/fuses are fine. Removed the front interior light section where the alarm tilt switchs are also, and found a single black wire disconected, it is quiet short, but it is not clear where it has come from. All existing plugs have the right amount of wires in them to the number of pins that they have. Any Ideas??

The black wire could be the earth connection. Try connecting it to a nearby earth and see if things start working.

SOURCE: No power to electric windows and interior courtesy lights

This is a common problem, but I've never seen a window regulator go bad in a Mercedes, the problem is probably the switch, you can check his by removing both working and nonworking window switches from the console, and plug in the other side or rear to roll the windows up/down,you will need to disassemble the switch that does not work and clean it well then, it will work again I've done it to my Mercedes

Testimonial: "Helps a bit, will be checking switch out, Thanks"

Alarm sound is normal, sometimes does that, reverse light could be your switch fault or wires touching.

SOURCE: I have a 2005 Sprinter.

Hello
When these lights come on and stay on the systems control module is alerting you to the fact that a malfunction has occurred in the system, the system also records a fault code(s) in the memory of the ABS/Traction Control Module, (traction control is the same system). The first thing that needs to be done is to find out what these code or codes are, blindly replacing parts would be very expensive and likely not fix the problem. You will need to seek dealer help or a shop that has the proper electronic scanner to test the system, then you proceed with repair based on that fault code data. It is likely you have a speed sensor problem at one of the wheels, which one the test will indicate, remember it can be the sensor or the wiring to the sensor or the control module it self that is causing the problems.

I have a 2007 Honda odyssey. The left front turn signal hasn't worked. Recently the right quit working. The rear work just fine. What could this be? I checked bulbs and fuses already.

If the honda odyssey's turn signal does not light up, it may be that the turn switch is faulty. Use a screwdriver to connect the steering switch live wire and left and right light wire terminals respectively. If the light is on, it means the steering switch is faulty and should be removed for repair or replacement.

Window, interior lights, car alarm and fuse keep on burning out

you have a short circuit or burned out wires somewhere, could be anywhere.
Try disconnecting the alarm, taking the bulb out of the interior lights, and putting in the fuse, if it blows again you know that the alarm or interior lights are not at fault, if it stays good replace the bulb and if it blows theres your faulty circuit, if it stays good then the windows are at fault.

My car is a Honda Civic 2007 model. The dome light

of the switch is working properly ON/OFF/DOORS , and the fuse is good. verify that there is voltage to the bulb. take a test light an dcheck each end of the bulb when it should be on. NO VOLTAGE-=problem between fuse and light. VOLTAGE on both ends of bulb= bad ground, usually there is a screw that may be loose holding the light up, loosen and tighten all screws up there.

I have a short to ground problem with my tail/crtsy light circuit ( keeps poppin fuses when the light swith is pulled to on position) also dash lights & tail lights don't work but interior light is on...

Try removing the bulbs from the rear tail lights you have one 2 bulb system shorting out, so one at a time remove the bulbs then replace the fuse and see which one is bad or just buy new bulbs and replace, also could be front running light blinker light. But sounds like brake light to ground threw bulb.
