headlights permanently on!!??

[mike74]

I don't know if I'm being a bit thick here but suddenly the headlights on my 182 are permanently on once the ignition is engaged even though the switch on the stalk is definitely in the off /0 position (the top setting)

I'm away at the moment and don't have access to the manual which I've left at home, is this a fault or is there some kind of auto-headlight function that I've accidentally triggered??

Yeah auto lights, I have mine off. turn the ignition on and quickly turn the lights fully on and off twice and you should here a beep once you've done it correctly to tell you its off.

is it at night time or in the day if it is in the day it may be the stalk is at fault

Faulty light sensor I bet. Turn off your automatic lights.

Or someone has enabled DRL in the UCH config.

don't need the ignition on, but yea, this

Thanks for the replies, all sorted now with the switch on-off twice technique, I'm guessing it was the auto-headlights although it was happening in (dull) daylight.
