Default Both side lights out.

I have a strange fault. Both of the front side lights are not working. I checked the bulbs, both OK, If I get out of the car with the sidelights switched "on" then the >gong< goes off. If I remove a bulb the warning pops up on the IDK. I can't think of anything I have done to it to make this happen. Everything else works fine.

Does anyone have any ideas about this?

Thanks
Andrew

Not only new Lee, I tested them before I put them in. Going to check for voltage and grounding on them................

Would of thought warning light should show if there is no complete circuit. Could be an L.S.M issue i wonder?

have you used TOAF perhaps? I have read of issues relating to it and sidelights doing strange things.

Yes, I did use TOAF, I had a weepy injector and never thought to check my lights afterwards :-( I can make up a "work-around" for it, but it's blinking annoying

First time I had a go with TOAF, I disabled the HRW and my boot release no longer worked. I dont know if I did anything, but I dont recall, but it turned out, the tailgate release and the boot release were both selected! My car is a saloon. Unchecked the tailgate release and all was good again.

If I recall there are sidelight options in one of the modules.

Cheers CLF, I couldn't find any sidelight options. I will give it a go tomorrow, failing that I'll call BigRuss and failing that, I have a cunning plan involving a trailer relay :-)
