DS3 1.6 HDI (2012) – Lights Turning On Constantly While Driving

Unread post by ivian »

Hey everyone,
I recently bought a 2012 DS3 1.6 HDI, and I’ve noticed a strange issue with the lights. No matter if they’re set to auto or 0, they turn on while driving and stay on. It’s happening consistently, and I can’t seem to figure out why.
Has anyone else experienced this? Could it be a fuse, faulty relay or wiring fault? I’d appreciate any advice before I take it to a mechanic.
Thanks in advance!

Which lights were you referring to? :)
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

If these are the day running lights then they should be on with the engine running. Is there anything in the handbook ?
