VR6 DUBBER 0 Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Hi All I have got a real electrical problem with my indicater lights. For some reason all of the right hand side indicater lights are staying on when the keys are out of the ignition. the turning light stays on in the dash aswell even though the indicater is central. I found that If I disconect the rear left hand side loom from the circuit board the lights go out.I have replaced both circuits boards and looms and still get the same problem. Also if I press the idicater stalk down I get that tizing noise telling you have left the idicater down, if I push it up i don't get the noise. So does anyone think that the stalk has gone or the relay. It stils clicks when I move the stalk up or down. After all this I have now disconected the rear lights so the lights go off. Then when using the alarm the lights flash at the front as they should . Please guys anyone help me.I have taken the car off the road for this reason. :@ Link to post Share on other sites

VR6 DUBBER 0 Posted May 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 My MK3 has a got a serious back light fault.The story is that the rear right lights burn out as soon as I put in new bulbs in but only on the right and start smoking (white). I did'nt use the car for 2 weeks and went to go in and found the battery was dead. I recharged it and as soon as I connected the battery, i found that the indicators on the right were were staying on and not flashing.The indicator stalk was central, so I checked all light connections and found that if I disconnected the rear left the lights went out. So I though t easy, new looms and wires and circuit boards. Did both sides and still got problem. Thought the rely may have gone so changed that and still got the same dam problem. I am in desperate need of help guys,how can I chase the fault. One of the fuses had burnt out for the indicators but replaced that and its not blowing. Please help otherwise its being towed next week to electrical shop. Link to post Share on other sites

craggsy 91 Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 I think that if you disconnect the battery and leave it disconnected for a while then it is safe to remove air bag....but I wait to be corrected Link to post Share on other sites
