hi

I have more info



--what i forgot to say--

--the radio comes on and works - even lights up and says tape on its lcd screen , but the night time illumination for its buttons dont come on, when any head light is on

--the air conditioning works and even lights up and says 25c & fan speed on its lcd screen, but the screen does not get brighter like it used to when any headlight comes on.

--the air conditioning buttons DO lights up when any head light comes on





--i have replaced--


--all fuses with new ones

--both break bulbs (they have a double filament) they act as break + night driving lights



I been on another website and some on said their american car did the same thing, they found it was the "headlight switch". ONLY difference i think is that person has a light sensor.

see the - the last post on the link :-)
