Lightbulb

try pulling out the relay for them (lights should now go out) and looking at the terminals inside the case as sometimes they can weld themselves together and keep the power going through. You might have to open up the case if it's not a see-through one. I've had this happen and it's a weird one (you should hear a small click when pulling it out of the holder as the contacts "break" - if not, they might me joined )

if they have joined, you could try splitting them and lightly filing the contacts but only as a "getting by" measure until you replace the relay...

Question

Any idea's on the following:

Left for a firewors display and remote locked the car.

Watched the fireworks and returned to my car to find its literally been frightened to death and that the indicators are now permenatly on?! (Alarm had been going off throughout the show)

I removed all the fuses / relays and they remained on.

I tried dis-arming / alarming the car lots of times and they remained on.

The hazard and left / right signals do not function i.e. they do not operate the relays.

I disconnected the battery and the indicators went off.

Re-connected the battery and they remained on.

Disconnected the alarm and the indicators turned off.

Re-connected the alarm and they came back on

Tore my hair out and they remained on.

Kicked the o/s and n/s door panels and they remained on.

Have now given up and now "asking the audience".

Any idea's folks?

Just my luck as my MOT is due tomorrow. How f**ing typical!

FYI

The Alarm is Sparkrite and is an alarm only, no immob. It has output that operates the indicators and locks.

Thanks

there isn't any chance it would be the driving lights that has a switch ontop of the steering wheel column? There's a description on www.scoobymods.com .

hopefully you do find out what it is...

Had this problem on my 205. Turned out my car alarm was broke after getting a bit wet. You need to disable it totally, i.e. stop it getting any power supply at all.
Hope this helps.
