Mature onset gremlins
Hello fellow owners,
I am in need of your sage advice. The Raptor has developed an electrical gremlin. I parked her outside the house, locked her using the remote fob. A couple of hours later a neighbour called saying I had left my indicator on. I went out to the car and sure enough, the offside rear indicator lamp was on as well as the offside repeater. The front offside indicator was off. The car was still locked. I unlocked her but the repeater and rear indicator stayed on. As a temporary measure, I have disconnected the rear lamp cluster and the repeater. Please, does anyone have any advice for me as to where I should start troubleshooting? As always, all advice will be very welcome. Dale

might not be a fault if you've left the indicator arm down which gives you a park light to the indicated side tho should also light the front bulb unless thats blown

If it was the parking lights the indicators would not be illuminated, the tail and sidelight bulb would. I would try a battery reset first, disconnect the battery for 30mins and see if that solves it. Lee.
