Electric issues
My car has some electrical issues going on. My lights are programed to flash when I lock and unlock my car and very rarely work. I'm wondering what I should check besides fuses.

Dont know if this applies, but electrical things get wacky, when voltage is deficient.
Check your battery connections

Unlock OBC Check out the cluster test.
http://db.tt/e37Zrkmb look for:
Instructions to access the hidden OBC functions:

You can monitor the voltage at the battery right on the cluster.

Menu 19 to unlock

Then
Menu 9 will display a 3 digit number.

140 would equate to 14.0V while car is running.

128 = 12.8V car off.

Report back with your results.
