Hi All,

What is going on here? I’m getting no errors, but it’s obviously not happy!

Suggestions please.

Many thanks.
 
And is that shown in the video happening when the car is unlocked/ key in ign etc? Just helps to know associated inputs
 
Car was unlocked, key not in the ignition, and the bonnet and boot weren’t closed.

However, it was doing the same as this last night, with the boot and bonnet closed.

No sign of any wiring damage. There’s been a lot done to this car in the last few months, but nothing that I think would cause this.

I did wonder if it was an earth issue?
 
Is it only the indicators and headlights?
I wonder if maybe it's connected to a fault in the alarm system?
Guess you'd have to find all the permanent live fuses and pull them one at a time to see if removing any of those stops it.
 
:o Has to be a earth. Has any water got in? As above pull the fuses one by one to isolate the circuit.
 
I would also suspect an alarm issue, indicators and headlights can be coded to flash when car is being locked or unlocked using NCS Expert software. I would suspect something in the system is shorting causing what you are seeing.
 
Looking at the wiring diagrams it could be one of four earth points (of a total of 7… ask me how I know 😬)
 
The earth point on the front offside suspension tower x165
The one on the near side front suspension tower x166
The one in the passenger footwell on the outside of the car ‘wall’ x218
The one in the boot area, behind the drivers side in front of the rear suspension mount x13004

:D
