T6 shuttle interior lights stopped working.

[rupster_69]

I have a 2018 VW shuttle (NZ Caravelle) where the map lights come on when the button is pushed to unlock and come on when the door is opened but the rest of the interior lights don't come on. I have checked fuses and all seems fine nothing blown.

At a loss as to why they stopped ...... Any ideas? I have searched the forum and nothing described my issue.

You could try a BCM reset in case it has had a wobbly.

Are the steps to do that on the forum? Cheers for the reply

OK I have followed and completed these steps but the issue remains - the front map lights work but the rears do not work at all.

Anyone else got any ideas before i seek an auto electrician?

Stupid/obvios hint:
On mine there are some not so intuitive latching buttons on the overhead console near the center mirror.
One of them is for the rear cabin lights I think.
