Car headlights turning on by themselves...
Hi all, hoping someone can help/ experienced this before!
Last night my and my OH went to a wedding reception for a few hours, when we came out we found his car headlights were on (Renaul Modus). We are so sure that we didn't leave them on..it was dark so surely I would of noticed while walking in front of the car as we left it! Anyway car started up fine as only been inside for 2 hours and we drove home (A good 30 min+ plus journey) and thought nothing more. This afternoon OH has gone to the car and found the battery is completely dead. I cant help thinking that it has something linked to what happened last night and a quick google confirms that this has happened to people before.
Anyone ever had this before/ know how to resolve this?

Under the engine fuse box is a large connector block, this gets gunked up and causes no end of electrical issues on the whole range.
Ask a garage to remove the fuse box and clean the connections.I do Contracts, all day every day.0 -
