#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.

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.

#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.
