    Turns out it's the previous mechanic pulled the ground connection loose, that led to the boot button, the rear light n reverse light not work. As for the front light, I think the ballast is going to die, do you know a way to remove the ballast without having to remove front bumper? And I have trouble setting up user profile. Everytime I enter the car the seat moves to the back-most, I tried to turn off the button next to the steering, it doesnt help.

      @MrMisterUtube hiya mate, good news on the loose earth! Not sure you'll be able to access the ballast on car for both sides tbh, that said bumper off isn't the marathon you might think. I think a bulb change on rhd d/s is usually a wing off job but I have seen it done blind. My hands are too big. Finally the seat problem is because your key is programmed to a particular driver profile so you need to overwrite that profile with your own settings. It explains in the handbook how to do this. Best of luck mate :)

    Disaster happen to my fs😢 The front left headlight(HID only) and the rear left light (whole module) and two reverse lights arent working, and the alarm goes on even when I turn on the car. After I lock the car, I open the door with keyless, then it starts beeping. I then tried using the key fob button to unlock, and start the car, the alarm doesn't turn off, and keep beeping. No matter with keyless start or sticking the key in, the alarm just wouldn't stop. I had the batteries changed in April. Alarm problem happened after rain, i don't know if this is related. And the rear boot button is not reacting, i could only open with the button on drivers door.

      Oh dear! The first place to check is passenger footwell. Pull the carpets back and check for water. If it's wet, then you could be looking at a Kessy module. If it's dry then try a hard reset, take the system battery negative lead off for 5 minutes. Same with the starter motor battery just in case the emergency link is operative. Best of luck mate
