Hi, did you get this problem sorted at all?

 

If you didnt, then its an easy fix. Open the bonnet and, and find the washer bottle. Next to that, bolted to the drivers side wing, you will find a black box. Unplug the box, and hey presto, the fault will vanish. It will also cure a few other faults, such as indicators that miss a click, rear wipers wiping on their own, reversing sensors firing up when your driving forward.

 

The box is the HID translator module. All it does is let the ECU know when a headlight bulbs blows. If you can live without that function then you can cure all the rest!! The HID module develops a fault, and effects lots of other things down the line.

I too have recently been having this problem whereby the radio goes off/on/off/on repeatedly and the wiper does the same and the reverse sensors have a disco, so with your advise I have disconnected the plug in the engine bay and will see how the car performs over the next couple of days. I will let you know if that solves the problem.

It's true by disconnecting the plug in the engine bay the problems with the radio, wipers and reversing lamps have all gone away. I did for a week reconnect the plug and the issues came back, so up with the bonnet and off with the plug again.. so is it a simple swap out of the Hid module to cure this problem..

 

Just started to have a new problem with the radio/sat nav whereby the unit stays on but I lose the screen (goes blank) sometimes it comes back but most the time it's blank, radio works fine and volume etc, but it's a pain if you wanna change something

Regarding the HID module, yep all you need to do is source a replacement, plug it in and it will be fine. I haven’t noticed any difference in the headlights since I unplugged it, so I haven’t bothered with a replacement.

 

As for the sat nav thing, I don’t have it installed in my car so I’m not sure about that.
