Electrics: Interior light problem

[SimonXC90]

Hi all, I've got an issue with the interior lights on my XC90. I can turn them on with buttons but they won't come on when the car is unlocked. The boot light doesn't come on either. If I use the yellow button on the remote to activate the approach lighting they come on. Any ideas as it's really annoying. Thanks in advance.

Hi they don't work in day light, do they work when it is dark. Dave

Indeed the other evening I was sitting in the car with the engine off, door open, nav screen on, no interior lights on when suddenly: the nav screen dimmed and the interior lights came on, without me touching a thing.

What just happened, me thinks...?

Ah hah: it just change from Day to Night
