Post by: VR6-Joe on 05 March 2009, 21:50: Have you tried disconnecting the light, then reconnecting it?
Or disconnect the battery, then reconnecting it?

They're probably the two things I'd try out.

Post by: boneybradley on 05 March 2009, 23:40: disconnect the battery and whilst its off hige the fuse box forward and feel for any dampness (it's worthwhile remving the plastic wiper arm cover thing and removing any leaves and crap that collects there and also give the drain channels a clean)... and when you reconnect the battery it should clear the codes
