garybyrne69 0 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Hi Folks,On Friday I had a hands free kit fitted to my 4Motion, ever since my courtesy lights have ceased to function, either on opening the driver or passenger door or when removing the key from the ignition. Whilst I realise that the two events are probably not disconnected, does anyone have the knowledge of the electrical system to diagnose where I should look to try and rectify this before calling the engineer back.ThanksGary Link to post Share on other sites

The fault is not a fatal one, just annoyingCheers Link to post Share on other sites
mannie 0 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Check the bulb and your courtesy light setting mate ,could be as simple as that. Link to post Share on other sites

bobda 0 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 If it started straight after having the kit fitted, I'd give the engineer a call without hesitation - it's their job to fit the kit without disturbing any other parts of the car!! Link to post Share on other sites
