Stupid question........do the lamps remain on permanently when the tailgate is up or is there a 10-15 mnute delay (mine are permanently on, hence the question) Regards

Mine are also always on, no delay off. 2003 model.

Mine go off after a while Previous cars:
S-Max 2007-2013 (only diesel I've had, good car but expensive when diesely bits go wrong, so what's the point?)
Galaxy 2001-2007
Mondeo Estate 1997-2001
Sierra Estate 1993-1997
Uno Turbo 1987 -1993
Fiesta 1984 - 1987
Fiat 127 1982 - 1984

Vehicle interior lights go off after @ 15 minutes if a door is left open, as expected, but I have had a coupe of close calls battery wise whilst camping, leaving the tailgate open..........just wondered if I had a fault or not  Regards

Bit confused Stan

I can turn the interior lights off (no flashes), but the boot space light still work, I have had a look through the manual but can only find out how to change the bulbs

I just want to know if the boot space lighting has an auto shut off, if the tailgate is left open or not.

Has anyone else flattened their battery as I have?? Regards

Sure there's a setting in the CCF that either synchronises the boot light with interior lights so they will go off when the others go off or you can keep them separate and just the boot lights stay on while the boot is open...

Mine are synced and go off after the 16 minute delay..... Pete

I changed mine to LED units, so I don't care if they are on or not, plus I can see in the boot at night  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

My 2003 lights stay on when the tailgate is open. All I do is latch the top catch and it turns them off. When. Want to shut it I just press the tailgate button the catch unlocks and I just shut the tailgate

sneaky, make the car think the tailgate is shut, when it's open Sometimes the simplest of solutions are the best.. you just have to remember that you locked the tailgate in the open position, otherwise there will be a lot of when you try to close it for real  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer...
