Center console not latched will also cause this.

Do you mean the little glove box compartment between the seats? I will take a look as I did have it open this morning... thanks.

I get the 'one honk/one light flash' issue sometimes as well. I'm not sure what the issue is but sometimes just opening the drivers door fixes the problem, sometimes opening and closing the console or glove compartment does it. I'm guessing I'll have to try and get at all the contacts for the microswitches and try and clean and/or replace them.

Likely a faulty micro switch somewhere. On my Carrera it was the glove box.

Any way to determine exactly which sensor is the problem? Is there something in my Durametric?

My center console does it every so often, in fact it did yesterday! Closed it firmly, no more honk
