How to Adjust the Dome Light Not Turning On When Opening the Door in a Land Rover?
2 Answers
If the interior light of a Land Rover Range Rover does not turn on when opening the door, it means the door control function has been turned off. You need to press the door control switch of the interior light to activate it. Open the driver's side door of the Land Rover Range Rover and step on the brake pedal. Press the one-touch start button of the Land Rover Range Rover to start the engine. The dashboard will light up, indicating that the engine has been started. There is a contact switch on the door. Press the door control switch of the Land Rover Range Rover to activate the interior light door control mode.
I just drove a Land Rover, and the dome light not turning on when opening the door was really annoying. This is often a setting issue. First, get in the car and turn on the power, then find the settings menu on the central screen. Click on the 'Vehicle Settings' or 'Interior Lighting' section and check if the 'Lights On When Door Opens' option is enabled. If it’s not, switch it to automatic mode. If it still doesn’t work, it’s likely a blown fuse. The fuse box is located under the glove compartment on the driver’s side—find the Fuse 10 position (refer to the manual) and replace it with a new one. Another possibility is that the door switch sensor is dirty or greasy, affecting the signal. I fixed this by wiping the sensor area with a cloth. A burnt-out bulb is also common—remove the dome light cover to check the filament or replace it with an LED bulb for better durability. In short, the issue isn’t complicated. Troubleshooting step by step saves time and effort. Maintaining the car’s lighting system is as important as maintaining the paint—prevention is key.
