Customer Question

I asked a question about some lights staying on when my car was parked and switched off, and you said it could possibly be lamp module, I believe this is probably correct. the car had been off the road for 2yrs, and since we've been using it again it seems to have rectified the problem. Is the fact it had been standing around a possible cause for the problem we were experiencing, and could it have corrected itself?

hi this is ed, how are you doing today? the lamp control module is a series of relays, diodes, and resistors. there is a possibility that with low voltage, the lkm could do some strange things. it would be more likely now that the battery is fully charged, and the voltage going to the control units in the car is now correct, that the problem could have corrected itself. thanks in advance, ed. if you need any more information don't hesitate to ask. have a good day.
