ok next chapter in my new ownership of a galaxy..

 

today after having my aircon done.. the guys said its free from leaks and all working fine and that it had about 600 in and it should be 7-750.. so its lost 150 in 2.5 years so 20% over 2 years which must be pretty good as ive read that most systems lose about 15% a year).. anyway enough about that..

 

i pulled up at a shop and turned off the engine, when i opened the door i got the deep beeping noise to tell me my lights are on..i close the door & check the lights and there off.. open the door and the same noise is there..

 

twiidle the switch on and off a few times but it was still there...

 

left car came back 5 minutes later.. still doing it.. go to a cafe open door still there, 10 minutes later i leave the cafe and its stopped doing it and hasnt dont it again since.

 

are there any other reasons to make this noise apart from the lights bering left on??

 

thanks again!!

:unsure: did u check ur indicators????? :unsure: mine does this when left on

Had you left the indicator switch in the on position? If so, when you switch the ignition off the parking lights come on and this gives an audible warning when you open the door.

 

Probably completely wrong but just a thought :wacko:

Definately sounds like parking light warning, when you leave the car if indicator stalk is on, Right or left it turns on the corresponding sidelight/tail light :wacko:

My thought was indicators aswell, the car will beep for all sorts of reasons, low fuel,handbrake slightly on,lights on,a door opening(while keys still in ignition). :wacko:

actually completely right...

 

yes i had left my indicators on as i had just pulled to side of the road to use the shop..

 

just been out and tested it and yep correct again it makes a beep.

 

thanks again keen folks!!

i would but i dont have one..

 

i think that someone ate it on a long journey when the driver woulnt pull over at a little robber cafe... mind you it probably tasted slighty better and moister than anything served from this restarant..

 

anyway i just purchased one off ebay tonight saw it on these boards somewhere!! so i will be able to read little things soon!!
