- 2012 vauxhall astra j daytime running lights not working when the auto headlamps were switched off.
The conclusion turned out to be a faulty rain sensor which is fitted to the inside of the windscreen..the rain sensor incorporates a daylight sensor to activate the daytime running lights. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Nice work brother.
Iam having same issues
No one was assisting to fix it. This video provide some clarity
Another mad system to drive us crazy in our job Alan , well done for sharing it with us guys 😉😉👍👍👍👍👍
Nice fix Allan, I swear every night I see loads of cars with just the DRL’s on only front main fronts or backlights, it’s an accident waiting to happen
You also see the same thing in bad weather conditions on the motorway people same to forget the lights area for being seen not just so you can see where you going
@@eddiejones.redvees they just see their DLR’s and think the lights are on, bad idea really
Well done Alan for finding that problem 👏
just the job my day time runners have just started to act up will give this a go cheers bud
Hi Alan
Good to see videos on different car.
Keep them coming.
Alan
Good info!! My left hand park light was gone. Thanks for the detail
Bloody hell Alan all the great vid's damn you need an Holiday keep up the good work and great money saving tip's as always 👌👌👌
Thank you for posting this pal… worked a treat….. been baffled for a while now. 👍👍
Great find Alan, Thank You👌👍😎
Any idea why even with a changed bulb it doesn't work on automatic daylight mode (the left side works though) but it works on the manual mode which uses the 5w filament?
Thanks Alan, it's very helpful, yo're the best!
I don't suppose you can tell me the reverse light wire colours i need to tap into for a reverse camera on 2015 facelift insignia sports tourer please
Brilliant, thank you.
Is there no calibration option on the scanner? Just thinking dangerous I know!
Alternatively can the day time running lights be switched off..(on a Vauxhall Insignia SE CDTi 2012 model)?
Congratulation Alan. (aka.) "Sherlock" Thanks. Your fix may also be a good one for your channel Algorithm (💰) You deserve it all day long. See you in the next one.
Did you go the extra mile and drain the doors from water ingress all part of the service ?
Nice one alan cheers
Is it still possible that the rain sensor is faulty, if I shine the light on sensor in lowlight conditions with auto setting, it turns off my driving lights completely even though drl should light up and says I have fault on front right and front left drl. My cluster lights up brighter also in that case and that is normal. So it seems rain sensor works atleast to some level.
Got same problem on my Zafira c but I haven’t got auto lights on my car and this happens on my car no drl but switch to side light it works and bulbs not broken and I’ve changed the actual holder itself
Thankfully my 2015 astra j is the poor man's trimmed model and does not have atomic lights it also does not bluetooth even do the is a button on the Stirling wheel and radio but an after market bluetooth sender fixed that problem
That fault is easy to fix I’m surprised you had to go through so much 🤦♂️
I have an issue with the passenger daylight running light not working
My bulbs are fine even relays fine they both come on but still keep getting the check daylight running lights message
Anybody know how to cure water dripping from the interior light on Astra J Must be a drain bung blocked somewhere ?
Had something similar on my dad's C-max. Stripped the roof lining and found the windscreen bonding and failed and windscreen was loose.
Goodbye Fords keep going with Vauxhalls, and please can you fix Citroens and Skodas.
I have the same problem but the lights are on and the warning sign comes on when turning the ignition on
My left DRL has stopped working, I'll try this in the morning!
Did this work for you? As I have the same problem
Hi Alan
Please I have a problem with the gers shift
Hard to shifting after 30 min of driving on warm engine
On cold evrithing ok
Focus mk3 manual gearbox
Also is little sticky for changing the gears on hot engine
check the oil level and also check the gear cables under the plastic housing where they connect onto the gearbox mechanism...there is a stud that screws into the gearbox that the gear cable connects onto which can come loose and cause tight gear changes...if all cables and mechanism are ok then could be your clutch tight on the input shaft splines
@@alan4x thank you very much
What is the name of your garage? Maybe I can get an appointment
Please
👍👍👍
Have an astra 2011 1.4 patrol. Left drl, position lamp and low beam error. Switched relay with the right one but still error. Changed bulbs but no avail. Bought a used headlight online put that on but no avail. It doesn’t have light sensor or rain sensor like in the video. Please help.
might be worth checking your headlamp switch is not faulty
@@alan4x but the right one works fine! 😏
@@ehsanyounas1 there will be separate wires from your switch to each headlamp
I’ve got a annoying issue with my Astra J 2011 .. The infotainment buttons won’t work at all I can only change radio via steering wheel I’ve changed fuses & took battery off to no luck these buttons don’t even light up when I have the headlights on does anybody have any suggestions please? I’ve looked on google and found no working fixes either can any one help?
Hi, did you manage to sort this? I have the same issue
If one of the daylight running lamps are not working is this a mot failure
Not if the car was manufactured before 2018. Should only advise.
They ain’t working cus both bulbs have gone 😝. Right. Now to watch the video 😂
En....lightning..Alan...
Corsa d the same mare to get the bulbs out... and same sensor thingy
a monday evening vid this one
N x
I dont have the sensor
I think daytime running lights are pointless my car it's my daytime running lights on even if you switch to side lights on not headlights
Sick to death , of replacing these bulbs.every year x2.
Want convert to ( led ) same head light but differnt wire configeration.
Can help please. Only small room with monkey hands lol.
As you are a Ford man do enjoy your trips to the dark side -working for the devil .Vauxhall 😀
Alan you should get real and work on hi tech cars like the Ford 100e the Robin reliant,invicar,bond yugo y10
Had an astra same year.
Would never another as they are rubbish an badly designed.
Yeah, I had a 14 plate Astra J. Worst car I’ve had, it was knackered at 120k miles.
Still got my 2010 Astra, 109,000 miles. In the last year 2 DRL lamps replaced and one main beam, the offside dipped lamp has just failed. Other than that absolutely no problems. Best car I've ever had in the last 50 years.
Try later, tell work or not - ( Boss ) thanks anyways.. respecto. Peace.
My English isn’t that good, I didn’t understand well, so Alan put a new sensor to solve it? Thanks for helping me 🥲
It is a well known fact that Vauxhall Astra's lights only ever work within a 60 mile radius of Luton
nothing but added trouble all this new stuff they put on cars.all a waste of time.didnt need it in the past
exactly
