Rear brake lights come on when no keys in ignition
« on: 25 November 2009, 14:17 »
Hi all,
I was sitting in my car last night, I pressed the brake pedal and saw the brake lights reflection on the wall behind.
This was with no keys in the ignition.

I am thinking this is not the norm!! Or is it for golf's ?!?!?!

This is normal

Also pressing the key barrel in your headunit will power up.
