Hey all,

Got another puzzle for you all to ponder over  :crazy1:

I noticed today after parking and locking the car at TAFE, my head lights were off! Which is strange because they should run for another 10 seconds or so before turning off... Anyway didn't think much of it at the time because I was running late for class (Sydney Traffic)

Anyway, coming home tonight I tested the lights out and I dunno how or what happened but the delay is now gone! As soon as I look the car either by the handle or remote the map lights in the car as well as the headlights turn off straight away. Dunno if this is anything useful to solve this mystery but unlocking the car by the remote still activates the headlights (The welcome feature?).

Can't understand how something like this would just happen out of the blue?! The only thing that has changed in the car is the washer fluid message is up because I haven't bothered to fill it in about a week (Did i just admit that?!) could this message be playing with the coding the car? Is that even possible?

Anyway, quite bizarre! Any help would be much appreciated  :crazy2:

Only by going through a set of menus in the trip computer, as far as I know... And I haven't done that. I'll have a look at the option tomorrow and see if its someone how been turned off.  :head_butt:

Update: Had a look through the menus and none of the options have been changed. 'Welcome light' as well as 'Headlight delay' are both on.... Could It be a blown fuse?

Just confused I reckon. If you miss it, try a reset by disconnecting negative terminal for 30 minutes plus.
