Start with a battery reset......procedure below if you have sat nav...and check you have a radio code if required.

I have a similar problem . Normally when you unlock the car weather it be by remote or key the interior lights slowly illuminate and stay on until you turn
the key mine have stoped doing that however if i turn the lights on before
getting out when i lock the car the lights will fade out the way they are
supposed to .....Would a battery reset solve this problem

So you don't know what fixed it then?

My bong doesn't work either, but the overspeed one does??? Thought the sounder was located in the IPK.

There's a gone test option on the IPK diagnostics, this does not work for me either.

Hi Ros, Glad to hear you are now in bongo land again.

But you know these cars are full of electrickery, and actually have a mind of their own and can do or not do things you have never heard of. So please dont waste your time trying to find out why it didnt and now it does bong .
Live with it and be thankful its only a bong, it can be much worse when it wants to be .

No i dont know why it started working again. Just decided to on it's own (god know's i tryed everything suggested with no luck). Dont get me wrong im glad my bong's back. Life's so much better with a bong i find

Is my reversing bong a bong or a beep? Whatever it is, it is intermittent. Fortumately, I can tell when I've reversed into something cos the car sort of comes to a stop.

Then it bongs. Connie sense of humour, perhaps?
