V0NST3V3 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I bought the car around a year ago and have noticed an intermittent issue that I can't see covered online (might be looking in the wrong places). When the car is off, sometimes the right hand day time running light and break light come on, when I get in the car and turn it on the right indicator is going. I have done a few tests in the past and I know I'm not knocking the indicator as I get out of the car or anything like that. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be causing it?

pragmatix Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Always worth checking the fuse box in the passenger footwell for loose or corroded fuses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulius55 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 That is a parking light function. If you put the indicator stalk to the right when you leave the car the right hand front and rear lights come on and and with the indicators to the left the left front and rear lights come on. You must be leaving the indicator on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveT70 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 If park lights are coming on and indicators are coming on without the switch being activated I'd check the switch for faults first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would I go about checking the switch, would I need to take the stalk off? Its kept happening and actually happened earlier when the car was on but stationary - turned the ignition on, went back to the house and came back to the car indicators being on!

DaveT70 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 First option would be to substitute with a known good switch and see if the problem goes away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've ordered a replacement off eBay, will see if that solves the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
