Light bleeper not working
« on: 15 May 2008, 22:39 »
You know the beeper that comes on when you open the door with no ignition to tell you you're lights are still on.

Well mine has stopped working  :laugh: and it's annoying as i keep leaving my lights on.  :rolleyes:

Has the happened before to anyone , what should I check. The beep still works when i need diesel or windscreen washer bottle filling up.

Any ideas?

Car is a S reg GT TDi 110

Do you interior lights all work? Do the indicators flash every time when you lock it from the remote?

Oh -  :undecided: Could just be a faulty buzzer or loose wire  :undecided:

investigated further:

-bleeper works for low fuel and low washer bottle
-interior lights work when door opened
-when locked the indicators DO flash.

Hmm..Would a fault code show up for this?

what a ball ache, trying to sell it aswell, though most people wont notice!

Is there a reset for the ECU or something, or maybe disconnect the battery for a bit and hope it works after. It stopped all of a sudden and for no reason  :undecided:

does sound like a loose connection - have you looked behind the headlight switch?

turn it to 12o'clock and push in it should then pull straight out
