Technical Check Running lights error

[megadethmaniac]

Been having an on and off issue with the old yellow warning light coming on and the error message above.

Usually its fixed by tweaking the drivers side front running bulb ( never likes being completely "home") but not now.

It will come and go but tonight its doing something odd!

When I left work all was good until about the time I switched on the sides and then it came on. Odd. Got to the shop did a walk round and the car with both front DRLs were lit up.

Warning light extinguished on way home only to come on again a little way up the road. Got home only to find one brake light was on and the other was the position light

Brake lights working fine when you apply the brakes.

What do we think loose bulb on the drivers side position lamp where the brake light was otherwise lit causing it to earth that way?

Got to love Fiat electrics takes me back to my 1990 mk1 Uno

Are yours the LED tail lights?

The Older grande style lights suffer from poor plug connections,

The LED suffers damp ingress

My 2012 has been excellent

One DRL bulb at 42k, Engine battery at 74k

Thats it!

No just normal bulbs

disconnected and reconnected the driver side rear light cluster gave it a bit of a blow, must have shifted something as more lights now on and no amber warning light
