#1: Autolights Author: pug206lx, Location: Taking a gearbox off somewherePosted: Tue May 10, 2011 4:38 pm ---- Anyone got any advice on this?
My auto lights are activated and normally switch themselves on only when the wipers are on a constant speed and when the light level gets very low.
Was pressing the button on the end of the indicator stalk yesterday while driving - no reason why, and now the lights seem to turn them selves on when passing under trees and through other shadows. Driving it earlier it seemed to be randomly turning them on and off all the time during daylight and then they eventually stayed on.
The auto wipers are working fine.
Have I accidentally messed with the sensitivity by pressing the button? There's nothing in the manual about sensitivity options so does anyone have any idea / experience with this?
The car is a 2003 multiplexed GTi. Don't think the software has ever been updated.
Thanks in advance

Mine had to have the sensor replaced under warranty as the auto lights went mad all the time in daylight.
#3: Re: Autolights Author: pug206lx, Location: Taking a gearbox off somewherePosted: Tue May 10, 2011 4:54 pm ---- Thanks. Just wondered if id stumbled upon something by playing with the button.
Disabled them for now anyway. They're probably just having a spazz moment, ill try them again tomorrow. Thanks

Sensor area clean?
Might be worth trying to adjust it with Peugeot Planet.

#7: Re: Autolights Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Wed May 11, 2011 1:56 am ---- The Peugeot / Citroen auto lights are pretty good, there much better then the crap system Ford use
#8: Re: Autolights Author: MrrNoName, Location: UKPosted: Wed May 11, 2011 2:23 am ---- my ford focus ones worked really well, same cant be said for the auto wipers though haha
#9: Re: Autolights Author: pug206lx, Location: Taking a gearbox off somewherePosted: Wed May 11, 2011 4:15 pm ---- Sensor area is a little bit dirty because the car has been used a lot recently and havent really had the chance to wash it.
Ill give it a wipe off when i get the chance and see how it goes.
MOT is up tomorrow as well
#10: Re: Autolights Author: pug206lx, Location: Taking a gearbox off somewherePosted: Thu May 12, 2011 1:09 pm ---- Today i left them disabled yet on my way to work the lights were on...
Also for some reason the trip computer which i reset whenever i fill up the fuel (which i also cleared for sure about 60 miles ago) now says 705 miles since it was last cleared??!!
Very strange!

Can't tell if you're taking the p**s or not lol. Is it really that much hassle to flick a switch when you get in?

BSI software bug
The default setting is there is a problem with the light sensor is for the headlights to turn on
#13: Re: Autolights Author: pug206lx, Location: Taking a gearbox off somewherePosted: Thu May 12, 2011 4:21 pm ---- I hope this isn't a sign of worse things to come in my future with this car...
Was planning to keep this one for a very long time
Its in for its MOT tomorrow so i'll re-boot the software when i get it back and see how I get on with it
Thanks MRBsi for lending your knowledge

Have you tried activating them with the button on the end of the headlamp stalk?
They could have been turned off permanently in the BSI configuration set up to hide a fault with the sensor.
Try activating them as it shows in the owners manual & see what happens.
#16: Re: Autolights Author: pug206lx, Location: Taking a gearbox off somewherePosted: Sun May 22, 2011 10:06 am ---- If they're like mine you dont want them to work Left mine off now. Can't be bothered.
My mileage has jumped from 23.6 to 923.6 again as well!!

Known BSI software bug

#18: Re: Autolights Author: MrrNoName, Location: UKPosted: Sun May 22, 2011 10:08 am ---- is it changing to odometer as well as the trip counter? if it is you realllly need to get that sorted or its gunna put loads of extra miles on the clock lol
#19: Re: Autolights Author: pug206lx, Location: Taking a gearbox off somewherePosted: Sun May 22, 2011 10:11 am ---- Nope its not affecting the real mileage. The trip on the MFD says 23.6 as well lol. Im not that bothered by it. I just get in the car some mornings, look at the display and think... "am i seeing things?" lol

Just because it had sp stuff like arches doesnt mean it will have morettes at all. Its a different option altogether. And no, changing to crystals from morettes in any case wouldnt affect the autolight stuff
#23: Re: Autolights Author: everton5, Location: n walesPosted: Tue Jul 19, 2011 1:14 am ---- Got all sp factory fit except lights and car came with original brochure and receipt which states it had them
#24: Re: Autolights Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Tue Jul 19, 2011 1:24 am ---- thats fair but you said "full sp pack so should of had morettes". I was just stating that it was seperate options, as mine came with sp pack options but w/o morettes. (original receipt in hand too)
#25: Re: Autolights Author: everton5, Location: n walesPosted: Tue Jul 19, 2011 1:36 am ---- So where are the sensors? Do you know if there is a separate fuse for it? Thanks
