Weird electrical problem

Post by polo-drv »

Hello,

I have been having some electrical problems for a few months now.

Until recently, when the low-beam lights were on, you could take the keys out of the ignition and the engine kept running as if nothing had happened. If you turned off the lights, the car would also turn off.

Now that doesn't seem to happen anymore (without having touched anything) and the brake's third light stays on when the low beam is on, even when the foot or hand brake is not applied.

Do you have any idea where to start looking? Thank you.

I would get a cheap code reader and check DTCs.
