Overhead lights blink

Yeah... I'm a bloody lurker...

So, when I get in and close the door, the dome light blinks 10 times. I've never heard of this... has anyone else? I think the car is trying to tell me something, I just don't know what...

Woah - never heard of that one. Do you have an aftermarket alarm or something?

Nope... I'm guessing the car is just pissed off 'cause I test drove a mini cooper the other day.

AFAIK, the light is supposed to fade out slowly. It sound like the timer unit that controls the fade out is....on the blink

My car was doing this for a while. Shortly after, the dome light burned out. When I replaced the bulb, the blinking stopped.

I'm not exactly sure why a dying bulb would cause it to blink, but its worth a shot...

Brilliant, Phil! I would tend to agree RE the unit that controls the dimming. I believe it's part of the "time control unit" which is located behind the glove box.

Colin-

I think you may have bumped the "RAVE" button. It's located on the side of the console next to the glo-stick holder.
