Hiya
2004 freelander interior lights all staying on and light dash to indicate this
The 2 front small reading lights turn on an off but the other 3 staying on.
15 minutes later all gone off..... When I open and shut the door same again.
The front and rear light are led... Boot is standard bulb
When I central lock the horn beeps.

Any ideas

LEDs do funny stuff to the lighting electrics.

The horn beeping when you lock the car is because the car/computer thinks a door is open - could also be the bonnet, lift off top on a 3 door and maybe sunroof.

Sounds like the system thinks there is a door open as GG says, try opening each then slamming it shut. My problem was the back door, I think the window sensor was a bit out. I had to open and close it with the dash switch with the engine running until it reset itself.

Thanks col

The back window on the switch always goes down... But not always first time goes up.
Sometimes I have to open the back window door then shut it to work?
And not to sure if the window is fully up
