Hi all, I have a gen 2 Decato which has a few electrical issues

1 The front indecators work intermittently the left side won't work with the first press of the stalk but will the second time and the right side doesn't work at all. Both rear work fine

2. The side lights come on after turning the key off but not always. If you turn the key on and off eventually they will stay off

3 I've an airbag circuit fault the the steering wheel bag (see photo)

1 and 2 I think could be a grounding issue but I have also been doing a lot of welding mostly with the battery disconnected but I wouldn't have thought that would matter too much with a non ecu vehicle. Also I've checked all fuses in the glovebox

😊

1. On the attached schematic, the front and rear indicators share a common output from electronic flasher and column stalk switch, so as rear indicators OK, that section is proven. Front indicators do not share a common earth, other that with side markers, you will need to investigate further.

2. Your ignition switch could be faulty, and engaging the parking facility., without the black button being pressed.

3. Sorry,I do not have any info for x230 airbags.
