Front sidelight glowing - Page 2

I've also checked the earths, cleaned and refitted with no improvement.
Any ideas chaps!

Do you have any aftermarket or retrofit parts on the car?

If the front is glowing, then surely the rear should too - are they not on the same circuit?

Does it light up as normal, when the side lights are switched on?

Hi Harry.
Yes I would have thought that as well!
Switching on the lights and everything is quite normal.
Its an odd one

They are all on individual circuits from the LSM.

Time to try an alternative LSM

Mmm, they had to be really to be able to detect a lamp failure.

would snip the wire at the back of the LSM and see if that cures it. If it does, likely the output transistor has partially shorted.

The LSM has been disconnected and the fault remains the same.

then it must be a short in the loom.... if you unplug the lsm then one wire is in the air with no ground or voltage... it must be shorting across from another supply...
