    under hood light

    Hi guys,
    I have the light under the bonnet / hood.
    When should it work? ignition on or off.
    should it just come on when I raise the bonnet

    thanks

    Not sure however Its a bit like the fridge light. Ask the wife to get in there and shut the bonnet, drive it for a few miles and ask her if the light works
