Default Speaking of Dynamic Headlight Failure....

those who have experienced the icon and beep, has it occurred recently? Mine used to go off every 4-5 days, but it's been several weeks since it's gone off lately. Maybe it fixed itself? :-p

Default Mine hasn't done it in a while, I'm hoping it'll stay away.

I was having the same symptoms. Every few days, the icon would flash on, there was a beep, and it would go away very quick. I have not seen it in a while (maybe 2 weeks).

Now I have to figure out another problem: the horn doesn't work. I'm hoping it is a fuse problem, but I haven't had a chance to look yet. Nothing like trying to get an idiot's attention ahead of you that is reading a newspaper and forgot to see there's a green light and not having a functioning horn!

Whoa! Get a fog horn, it works wonders. Great for road rage too!

Default More weirdness..

I've had the icon and beep thing about once a week. Now yesterday, after being parked all day, the interior overhead light was on. I didn't touch the remote or anything else, and the switch was in the "off" position. I tried toggling the switch both ways but the light stayed on. Started the car, the light was still on. Flipped the switch again and then it went off. Gremilins, I suppose?
