Thank you very much, this worked wonders for me. I got myself a soldering kit from temu for under 10$ and got working and fixed both my lights under 10 min, again thank you.

I fixed it with tin foil and blu tak and it works exactly the same. Bent a thin piece of tinfoil and stuck it on each terminal with blu tak. No problems so far and quicker than soldering iron

Legend, this fix worked a treat for my wifes Qashqai, it only took me 8yrs of having non-working lights to get around to fixing them. 😂

Sent mine to Dan and he fixed and returned within a week. He's a top man 👍👍

Great fix, my right hand light wouldn't light and now done this hack to both lights and works great when doors open, top man!

Just done this yesterday as mine were not working and now they are working :), luckilyi had a solder iron in the garage. thankyou Qashqai Guy.

Hi! I am the owner of Qashai 2015. I'd like to say, Thank You, to you. I had the problem with the switch not working properly. This video has helped me fix light and now works when I open the doors in my cars but yes as you mentioned on the video, the switch will not work, which I'm perfectly fine with that. Cheers buddy!

Dan very kindly sorted mine out too, can't thank him enough, top man!

Great fix this has been annoying me for a few years, worked perfectly, thanks for sharing 😊

Awesome, tried it and it works like a charm. ✌️

Thanks, a very clear video, well done.. I have the same issue in my Qashqai, but Nissan should really replace these rubbish lights for free.

Nice one Dan, great gesture at the end of the vid to. Top man 👏🏼

I just use some foil and some tape and it works just fine Hopefully it doesn’t cause me any problems But thanks for helping me sort out this problem

Good simple fix, Dan.

Thank you for the fix! Did it to my QQ 2015. ❤

Hi Dan a know its been like a 2 year post but I've just purchased the qashqai and used your great video, so many thanks I just soldered across the pins but might if I can replace them .

Worked a treat, thanks :)

Very useful video.I have a same issue on my 2015 Qashqai.

Gr8 thank you I have same issue with the rear passenger light on my QQ I looked online to get one but to expensive thank you

Yesss it worked!! Thank you. I used solder without wires. Just connected the two pins. Ow.. and i didn't open up the part at all.

I did this and it worked thank u so much

Amazing it just worked. Legend

Job done! Thanks Dan!

❤ really good tutorial thank-you

Day 2 of Qashqai ownership for me and i found this fixed one of the rear interior lights! Like you say it feels like the switch is quite badly made.

Hi Dan, do you have any videos on replacing external rear lights? I can do it all except having huge difficulty disconnecting the electrical wires - I just can't find the right place to put pressure on to release them

I have a 2020 Qashqai and want to install a rear dash cam and feed cable through roof lining. I want to install it on the top of the back window, but I'm unsure how to remove trim on the inside of the boot lid. Could you possibly produce a video showing how this comes unclipped, as I'm unable to find any KZfaq videos showing this? Thanks Len

Done, thanks

Good solution. The failure of the part is caused by a tiny ball bearing on the middle of the switch (inside the module) you need to gently pry the switch out). After a few months the spring pushing the bearing out onto the contacts is not strong enough to retain contact. If you replace the spring with a stronger one you can fix the unit as new. If you are going the low tec route - still a good solution, and you don't have a soldering iron, twist some copper speaker wire into the gap between the contacts.

Many thanks. Took longer to take the light out that to solder the wire. both sides done in less than 20 min. They have been bugging me for ages.

Hi , I have followed what you have done and they do work and go off when you lock the car. The problem is when the car is unlocked they stay on all the time. Have o done something wrong?

Hi dan...can you fathom out why i have constant live on one terminal but need the door shut and light to go off? Mine either stays on or not at all ? The other side is fine thanks

I’m gonna try replacing the spring first of all, see if this helps. 3mm by 20mm is what you need.

Just done the mod worked first time next LED bulbs

Hello. Thank you for your very useful videos . You are helping to many people all around the world . One question: after fix as you explain in this video is still possible to turn the light completely off ?

Tnx mate

hi, great thanks to your video. I got my rear interior courtesy light back after followed you video. However, it only light up when I open the car door. The switch button is not working(the clicking sound from button is working perfectly). Any further advices? thank you very much.

Hi, I'm having a problem with the passenger side light in the back. The light only works if I press down on the switch, as in put pressure on it. I replaced the bulb and checked if anything was loose. Do you have any fixes for this? Thanks in advance!

Hi do you no the part no for the rear head rest for 2014 j11 1.5 diesel asenta please

Hello sir thank you for the great tips. I have a question ! Is there any chance to have both lights mean with the doors and manual as well ?

Hi Dan, thanks for yet another excellent video. Speaking as someone who breaks everything he touches, could you possibly repair my light? i have one working and one not and it drives my ocd mad...

I need to replace mine. What bulb is used for Nissan Qashqai (2014) model?

That s why i love england people

Nice

Hi sir. The cabin isint working the bulb is good theres a. Switch some where please may faulty thanks a lot.

Tnx 👍

I did the same .I just soldered the 2 elements without the wire

I've done this to both the rear lights but still no light any ideas?

Nice fix, can’t believe that they try and charge that much for them a complete rip off! Look to be worth about 40 pence🤣. With soldering it’s all about being quick and re tinning the joints. Always use multicore solder, never acid based flux! Pre tin the new copper wire before starting to solder to the terminals having given them a drop of new solder. It looks from the terminals you could just bridge them without fitting a loop as they are next to each other which would be neater. Sorry I’ve been in electronics, TV then computer services all my life, so I’m a bit ocd about it😉. Nice offer to do other people’s, good on you, expect Nissan UK have loads for you to fix 🤣🤣.

The problem I have with mine is not the switch but the light can be intermittent if it works, it comes on and after a while it starts to flicker and gradually dims

Rubbish Indian made switch!!! Thank you for the help...

My grandmas back intreia lights ARE APSULOOTY rubbish the switch doesn’t work I bought one and I’m going to fit it in

Anyone know if this would be covered under warranty?

Do you really need to take the unit apart and remove the switch. Can't you just add a short wire across the two terminals without taking anything apart?

The only bit I might need help on is the heat

What type of bulb is it

Interesting how this is a fault on all Qashqais world wide. Out of curiosity, is there any what to fix those switches?

lights not working because of too much condensation inside the car

I might be 12 doesn’t mean I can’t do the same as adults
