^^ as above... if so this is normal.. it turns off after a few mins.

[bprecey]

Yes the light in the green display never ever turns off. :-(

[TDCiST]

could you post a picture so we're all singing from the same hymn sheet as it were!! lol

http://flic.kr/p/dMGAdWThis one is showing the display still lit up some 6 hours after locking the car. I did not do anything to make it light up such as unlocking etc. I took it through the window. http://flic.kr/p/dMB2zV The second pic is just to show you the display in better light. :-) Never uploaded pics before so hope this works.....

[TDCiST]

hopefully someone with that style dash will be along to help soon... I have the later dash and my red display stays on for a while then fades off...

[bprecey]

This shows described display... This is the one showing the display still lit despite being locked for 6 hours+ (car was not unlocked to take photo, taken through window) Hope this one is better than the URL versions above

have you tried double locking the doors???? do any other lights stay on? try wiggling the key in the ignition????

[martyntdci]

somebody has changed the battery, and it stopped..... check if ur batt is calcium..... some body else has had the same problem, and they changed the headunit and it stopped...another changed to indicator/light stalk and it stopped ... but it should go off after 15 mins max..... to be honest, to me just sounds like a dodgy wire some where...... could be wrong tho

[bprecey]

I thought battery at first and replaced it with a better one. Didn't make any difference. Had a bit of an odd thing that seems to be repeatable. If I have the engine running and turn off and take out the key without locking it switches off after about 10 mins. Lock the doors and it then comes on again permanently once more. :-(

[martyntdci]

sounds like you might have a dodgy wire somewhere then...... so let me get this right, it works as it should untill you central lock the doors???? do you use key? try using the key? dont know if these will do anything but worth a try i suppose

[bprecey]

Thanks for the help so far. Tried locking with the key in the door and / or the remote. No difference. If I don't bother to lock it, it works as it should.

Not sure if it's related But if I unlock the car and then don't open any doors the Car will lock itself again as I suspect it should. The only thing is, if the car locks itself, the alarm will go off guaranteed. Perhaps these two things may be related?
