headlights coming on by themselves !!!! - Moley - 10-12-2021

Hello folks I'm having an intermittent problem with my headlights coming on by themselves.

This is happening with the engine switched off and no one in the car.

It has happened twice now.

any ideas how to sort this problem ?

Cheers moley

I think it may be water to the light sensor or theft unit mate. Have a look for dampness.

check for dampness in fuse box, drivers and passengers footwell.
Have you had a screen done recently?

What is the scuttle panel?
I've dried out the fuse panel in driver's foot well and could not see any dampness
