  • 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.

    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.

    • @alan4x
      @alan4x  Рік тому +2

      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
