I just noticed when I went to pick some stuff from my car that the lights did not flash when I locked the car with remote key fob. They flashed in the morning when I came to work, but now few hours later they did not work any more. They will flash when I open the locks but not when closing them. Any ideas?

Mine does that if I haven't closed the hatch properly.

Bonnet switch, hatch. Something isnt shut properly.

Push down on RHF corner of bonnet and try locking again.

Thanks for quick replies. It seemed to be some sort of sensor problem. I opened and closed all the doors and trunk. That did not help. After that I opened them again and slammed them close with some force. After that indicators started to work normally.

There should be rubber stoppers that buffer the trunk when closed - they might be standing too proud to allow the hatch to register properly when closed. Try screwing them clockwise into the frame.

Yeah, but sundiz says he cured the problem by slamming doors and trunk ;)

If it's the hatch or any door, you will notice that the indicator display in your dash will remain lit (blue), but it's is usually the bonnet sensor.

We have on a couple of occasions had the bonnet release itself, not quite sure why, seems to latch properly.

Jep.!  :P

I've heard there's a Hy dealer near you that are very skilled when it comes to intermittent faults...  :whistler:

Perhaps they may need re-flashing. :whistler:
