Puddle and Foot Well lamps - Automatic ON/OFF and Reset

Here is a good one for you guys.

When I travel, for 6 months, I remove the bulbs from the foot well and puddle lamps, so it does not drain the main battery.

Last week I visited Dorset for only two nights. I had already re-installed the said bulbs.

So whilst sitting out enjoying a large red, I noticed when the drivers door was open the puddle and foot well lamps were ON. after a period they automatically turn off. Now, if I open a rear door and close it the drivers puddle lamp comes back ON as do the foot well lamps. They then again after a period turn OFF. BUT with the drivers door still open the puddle lamps AUTOMATICALLY come back ON, after a period, and I touched nothing.

WHY ??


This happened several times during the late evening.

As I said in the Boot Lamp thread;

I wish that somewhere there was a little book of FL2 logic because sometimes my car defies me.

I think that a lot of us have brains that are hard wired to expect an action (switch?) provides a result (light?).

But with the LR2, and most cars now, the best you can hope for is that the car responds to your requested action, sometime, if it agrees.

Take 'command shift' as an example. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)
FL2 Metropolis SD4 Auto 2014 2017- (16k - 74k+ miles) (MY2015)
