Thanks for that st-george, you are a gent, at least I can go with this information next week, it will save me money and the auto electrician a lot of time. I’ll let you know how I get on, it’s probably good to share on here in case anyone else has the same problem.
Fixed, exactly the same problem, thanks again
Hi Squeakin, I have the same issue here. Headlights are on all of the time and the cruise control has stopped working.
I've had a quick visual inspection of the wiring around the junction box, benieth the glove box, but thers nothing obvious.
Any chance that you have a bit more detail of where the break in the wiring occured?
Much appreciated.
I’m not sure, I took it to an auto electrician and showed him what st-george had posted and he found it more or less straight away. It cost £160 but was well worth it. Not sure if you will find it without the right tools to be honest. Sorry I cant help further.
Hi Oults, did you get this issue resolved in the end?
Well here we go again the same problem lights stay on no high beam no cruise control.
Does anybody know what wire to look for.
Or would removing the battery reset anything this is the second time this has happened last time it all just started to work again for some unknown reason.

The cruise control is on the steering wheel .
I told the auto electrical guy about the broken wire thing and he said that would not be the case as the lights wouldn't work at all.
As soon as the new switch arrives I will post the resort's on here.
Like you said it's a common fault and it seems to be on the 2007 model.

My vehicle is just back from the garage. The fault was traced to a broken wire, just like everyone else has been saying. No power to the main light switch and the problem wire runs from the fuse box under the bonnet, F33, to the body control module in the footwell, connection C21C.
Rather than try and find the break and repair it, a new wire was fitted to bypass the fault. About 2 to 3 hours of work including the fault finding etc.
Hope this helps.

Hi I can now at last say it all fixed and yes it was a broken wire .
The auto electrical guy found the fault he removed the battery and it's casing and pulled the loom covering off to find a broken wire that comes from f9 fuse to the control box under the passenger foot well luckily he could see the broken wire it's the red one that Carries the live feed to the control box see pictures of the wire if you zoom in you can see one end has gone green with water ingress he said it had rotted through all back to normal now and I would like to thank everyone on this forum for all there help.
