[928uk] Interior lights not working

[Andrew Hunt]

I opened up the relay, there is a water mark and a small amount of
corrosion where the pins are soldered through the board. All of the
components look fine, no obvious over heating etc. The contact surfaces of
the relay are tiny but will try to clean them
I am going to swap test with a friend's relay this weekend.
I am concerned there appears to have been water getting in at some point, i
can't imagine it is condensation?  The drain from the fire wall is clear
but is there anywhere else to check for leaks?

Thanks,

Andrew

I did this with the main lighting relay and discovered a transistor and
diode had blown. For less than a fiver I was able to fix it.
