    Hi everyone,

    Wondering if anyone could shed some light on my headlight problem...

    I have it always switched to auto (yes i'm that lazy i don't want to turn headlights on or off). Up until about 3 weeks ago when ever i locked the car the lights switch off.

    They now no longer do that, i now have to unlock my car and then relock it for them to switch off. This is guarenteed to happen everytime.

    Thanks :thumbsup:

    When starting up your car goto the option menu (press up or down like the screen says to) and cycle through the options. I can't remember the exact name of the option, but it should say Headlight in it. Set that to 1 second. Not sure if that will fix it but that's the only thing i can think of off the top of my head.

    Yeah, I'd give that a try Tim - even if you set another delay option - or turn it off altogether - and then re-enable it with your preference. It might be that the config has its knickers in a knot about something.

    Failing that, I'd maybe look at taking it to Holden - it might need a reflash of the BCM.

    Another thing to try is to disconnect the battery for half an hour or so - means everything has to go through a full "reboot" when you connect it back up - that can help clear oddball issues.

    Good luck with it! :thumbsup:

    You'll loose all your radio presets and and ECU will be reset (it'll have to 're-learn'). Not a big issue though.
