CoryC4

Alright, so i've had a C4 for about 2 or 3 months. About one month into owning it, it started beeping at me every once in a while with the lightbulb with the x over it. I checked the manual and it says I have some sort of light malfunction, but all my lights work. I am very low on window washing fluid and that's the only thing that has slowed the beep, because that symbol comes up more than the light malfunction.
-Has anyone experienced this?! And what was it that was "Malfunctioning"?
-Does anyone have ANY ideas?
It's killing me

By chance, do you have aftermarket HID headlight bulbs?

Cut the k-pin on the headlight relay.

URS4boy: No, but I do have some aftermarket High intensity lights and some yellow lights in the fog lamp. Would having those effect something?

ORFSADOY: Is there a way to disconnect it rather than cutting it?

Comes and goes, but is a pain in the azz.
As far as I know I have stock headlights.
Can you be more specific on where this wire is located so that I can get my wire snips out first thing in the morning.
Will I be able to see my radio station settings once again?
Any side affects of cutting this wire?

TIA
Mike

I had that same light come on for a couple days, and it just stopped one day.

The light is a big hassle. And it drives me nuts.
Someone make things easy with this car

Replace all lights with the recommended ones. then verify if you're still getting the light out alert.

I had something similar, tail lamp was the wrong kind and autocheck was complaining. after replacing it, autocheck was ok.
