Hi everyone,

Since my mechanic did service on my car (J11 2013-2017), I have notice that my interior lights are not working at all when i do open the doors. Also, mood lights (at gear changer) is working, but only when I close the door and it lights with very low intensity, even when I set it on highest brightness.

I have checked all the fuses and I could not find any that is blown.

Also I have noticed, when I put switch for lights to AUTO, and when is day, it doesn't lit up only day lights. Short lights and day lights are always on, no matter if it is sunny day or dark night...

I have been to car electrician and he also didn't know what to do...

If someone can offer any advice how to fix this problems.

Thanks in advance.

My advice would be
Go back to the mechanic and find out what he/she has done to affect the lighting.
When the mechanic has worked out the problem - fix it
Expect no invoice

As far as I can tell from one of your faults "Auto Lights" you have a problem related to Body Control Module (BCM). Your other internal light problems are related to BCM.

It appears that your mechanic may have damaged the electrics in the BCM area. This diagram is a part of the lighting system
