The headlights on my R19 16v turn on when I use my e/windows??? weird I know.

I know it's going to be some sort of electrical problem but where do I start looking??

Anyone had the same problem??

you have a fault! Obvious i know.

Have a look inside the switch, the internals can come loose so when the switch is pressed the contact touches the internal lighting thing so the exterior lights come on as well.

Also it may be a dodgy earth somewhere as well, most likely the dash earthing points, if you read the tech article I done on battery terminals and earthignits all in there.
