The boot light works perfect....in all the time I've had it i never realised that it came on with the sidelights.... what an odd way to wire it.... seems daft that if you park up and go into the boot yo get your stuff you then need to go back into the car to turn off the lights after you find what your looking for..... would it have killed them to put in a boot switch

Cheers ...ill check contacts and earth's

Simply Ford date added. Poor planning as its the same day as the Gaydon Ford rally ...... oops Info for simply Ford- https://www.beaulieu.co.uk/events/simply-ford/ -
Its a simple circuit - if the light works via switch then its getting power so its either the door switches that aren't earthing correctly or dirty contacts in the light, Boot light is wired into the side light circuit so its on all the time the sidelights are on - no switch!

https://classiccars.fandom.com/wiki/Ford_Granada_Altair So being 'designed' in 1980, Ford would have been using those wheels for a while and Ghia just 'went with the flow' - why redesign the wheel so to speak?

The design and style is what I was referring too. You got what I meant! LOL -
I’d start by checking the terminals in the light itself phil

I have an issue with my interior light... it works when you flick the switch but won't work automatically when you open the doors....i recently bought new door switches off ebay thinking this would cure the problem but it hasn't... also found that the boot light doesn't work and I can't find the switch that operates that inside the boot... my fuses are fine as the light gets power.... ive ordered a 12v tester to test the wires going to the door switches.... has anyone else had issues with these

Ford Granada Altair Ghia Prototype (based on Mk2) Interesting are the Alloy Wheels used on our Mk2 Escort / Mk4 Cortina Ghias were so referred to as "Ghia Wheels" simply because they came off those cars but they appear to have been literally designed by Ghia themselves seen here on their Altair Prototype. -
Mk2 Escort Estate going to be my daily :)
