I've had it come up occassionally. Today whilst driving extensively with headlights ON in manual lights ON mode during the day (was foggy going up Lake Mountain) - reached Warburton on the home run and the alert came up. Would not go away with a simple power OFF of the engine. Stopped at Warburton for maybe a 20 min break and came back and the car was okay - no Headlight Warning Alert on dash whilst lights set to Auto mode. Wondering if something is heat sensitive - so when it cools down - does not trigger the warning anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was my battery cause when weak/low it does weird faults on that middle section. But changed to a 620cca and still did it one time. It would only happened with auto light on and parking in my garage (straight after I turn the key off). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My neg lead on the battery keeps coming loose - to the point where I could not start one evening (was running late for meeting and fark me what a time for it to happen). Luckily had the tool box with spanner in the boot at the time. Think I'll check that its not loose again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found some fine sandpaper does the best job. Edited 03/10/16 04:15 AM by skidxr6t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White vinegar, bi carb soda and lemon juice is really good for cleaning bathrooms etc and getting stains out of your skin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
