P38A Odd light issue

cornishboater · Apr 8, 2025

I am not sure if anyone has had this issue before, for some reason very randomly the side lights flash as if the car is being unlocked. There is no noise from the locks and the car remains locked, as mentioned it is extremely random. The car is parked in a private car park so I am wondering if someone’s key fob might be doing it, luckily it doesn’t unlock when it happens and there is no battery drain and no other issues. Fully charged brand new Hankook battery

Random alarm trigger ?? What's your BECM set for the alarm indication ?

I can't say I have looked at that bit Pete, I will have to look. That is the first time I have seen those settings TBH, can you set the thing to chirp on locking like most cars?

I think so but don’t want it on mine. It will be horn rather than a chirp.

Sometimes the lock rod can start jamming.
