Interior Lights 98 GU 2.8

[Xntric]

I seem to be blowing interior lights in the rear seat and back row everyweek. The front driver and passenger are not effected. is this normal, i tested it there is no Short.

No Not normal. try to not touch the globes with your fingers when you fit them in, unlikely to be your problem but worth a try. I reckon you have a short or something.

Alternatively swap the globes out for LEDs, cheap and available on Ebay for a couple of bucks

What is the voltage reading across the bulb when it is on?, you will need to take multiple readings with one door open at a time.

An incorrectly adjusted door or faulty door light switch can cause interior light bulbs to blow. Does your interior lights (or the door open warning light in the dash) flicker when you hit bumps in the road?

I would also stay away from the cheap and nasty replacement bulbs.

Changing to LEDs is a good idea.

Yendor...yes I do get the flicker I think it's the barn doors....well any way I got bigger problems just blew the seal on the turbo while heading up the F3 to Stockton... Need to find a new turbo fast....
