...woke this morning to find that the side lights on the car on!

Car not been driven for at least 8 weeks now (mainly due to lack of time) and until i can get my garage sorted (again lack of time), the car has been outside. Havent been in car since weekend, when i started her to make sure all ok, (shes on an accumate so battery not an issue), and if id have touched the light switch id have noticed before....anyways have turned lights on and off this morning, but side lights still on!

Is there a light box tht can be removed, or may need resetting? Any help, ideas welcome!

Thanks....

I had this problem, it was found to be the circuit board located by the pedals had failed due to water and damp. The terminals were all green...
It was removed and cleaned and it fixed the problem..

I think they might be the Door mirror ecu's and one/two boxes for the alarm from what I can remember......pain in the arse to get back in neatly too!!!

I had a similar thing the other day where I was sat in my lounge with the car on the drive and for no apparent reason the main headlights just started randomly flashing!!! It went on for about 10 minutes and then stopped!! Very odd..... rolleyes
