Evening all

Right, I ordered and received the 10a breakout fuses, connected them together (pair) and fitted as per Robbie's and Dan's instructions and hey presto, it all works great so many thanks for that.
However, mine are staying on all the time even after car has gone to sleep. Any thoughts on that anyone?

Lights are on auto, all doors closed and car "asleep"

Cheers

Lee

Are you sure you are picking up the power from the right fuses as it sounds like they are connected to a permanent live?

Lee - do they switch off when you lock the car? Are you sure the car is actually asleep when you have tested it with the doors closed but not locked? It takes 10-15 mins for the disco to completely shutdown without it being locked. The lights stay on for what seems like an age when the car is unlocked and if you open a door then it wakes and starts all over. I'm sure you know this but just asking Very Happy

As Robbie says make sure you have the correct fuse positions for the adaptive lights that you are taking the feeds from per Robbie's photos.

Hi Andy

Yes when I lock the car using the remote all the lights go out and alls good.
When I unlock the car the front and rear side lights come on so thats good.
Sorry I thought that when the cars dash shuts down that was the "go to sleep" bit?
I'll spend a little more time with it tomorrow pm and over the weekend.
As for the wiring I've copied both Robbie's and Dan's pix and instructions.

Cheers

Lee

Sounds like you have it right then Thumbs Up Various parts of the car shut down over time and it is not truly asleep for quite a while. Test it by leaving for 15 mins unlocked and with doors closed. Lights will have gone off. Open a door and they will come on again. Thumbs Up
