Dashboard Lighting Up When Keys Not In Ignition

[AmandaT]

I've had my year 2000 1.9D Berlingo for 6 months now and its perfect for my needs. I've just this week had a new battery put in so not sure if this problem is related to that.

 

When I stop the car and take the key out of the ignition, about a minute afterwards I hear about 5 beeps and the display on the dashboard lights up (speedo, clock, etc). The clock shows but underneath the clock where the mileage usually is it shows 000000. If I open my car door the battery light briefly comes on and all goes dark again on the dashboard. Then after locking my car it all comes on again. It stopped on all night last night (thankfully all started ok this morning) but i'm concerned that it may be draining the battery if left for too long.

 

Has anyone come across this before and do you have any ideas what it might be/what I could do?

I'll take it back to the garage that put the battery on but thought I'd see if it's an easy fix.

 

Thanks very much,

 

Amanda :(
