Like said in subject, I now often have to reselect Drive a couple of times to get the headlights to come on after starting up. And if reversing, have to reselect Reverse a couple of times to get it to engage.

I wondered if it was a switch attached to the selector, or is it relay or ECU related?

I couldn't find this problem in the forums.

Thanks

Is it the same if you have the lights in manual rather than auto? and what happens with the "get you home" lights which stay on for a while after the engine stops? 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Yes, Dorset Freelander, it happens in manual light setting. The other symptom, no engaging full power, also happens at same time. I initially thought a worn switch, but maybe it's ECU.

I'd a reset so that might actually deal with it ...

I can’t see details on your profile as to how old car is I’m thinking it could be something simple such as extra earth battery etc ?
