Auto Lights Not Turning Off After Car Is Locked

[chiefchappers]

Hi,

I've just noticed that my rear / headlights do not switch off when the engine is stopped and the car is then locked. This is when the lights are set to 'Auto'. Unlocking and then relocking the car appears to solve the issue. But it then reoccurs with the same symptoms.

Simple cure for this one - turn them off manually, as we have been doing for years ........

have they got a get you to the door feature? ie stop the car lock it and they stay on for 30 seconds?

Alex,

A very good thought.. however, my model doesn't have that feature. It seems temperamental now. Maybe the sensor that detects whether the door is closed? I'll keep an eye on it for now.
