    Electrical Fault

    Hi, I have a fault with my turn signals - when I indicate left or right, all (front, back & side) flash ? as if the hazard warning lights are on. Any ideas to where should I start looking ?

    Check for corrosion on the bulb holder plates on the back lights. Common problem on Coupe's to leak around the lights. I had to silicon seal my old coupe rear lights and change the buld holders

      oh yeah what he said , i had proper disco lights on mine when the lightboards corroded and also if you use a twin filament bulb on one of the tail light's it also can cause issues.

        Checked the rear light bulb holders & they were fine, (the seals don't leak & the boot stays dry) ... checked the fuse box, that was ok & dry..... so I then checked front & side bulbholders, the seals etc & they were ok, no corrosion .... into the interior, removed the hazard warning switch, refitted it & hey presto, indicators working fine
        S2's can have stange faults sometimes ??????
