Any possibility of a neighbour having a remote with same code? I recall being at a busy Carters Beach, Westport campground many years ago when the doors on our rented Transit based campervan suddenly locked. We unlocked with remote, and they locked again. Decided that there was a shared code, and did not repeat, and advertise the fact.No alarm just use the remote to lock/unlock

Always worth to check those, as it's a common problem with the Ducatos. But I think it would generate also other symptoms.As the problem is not confined to one geographical location, it seems sensible to exclude external influences.
While I doubt that they are the cause, the x250 model suffers from at least two electrical problems which are worth checking and eliminating.
1. Engine block earth strap. This can suffer from internal corrosion, and cause many problems. If not already done, worth changing.
2. Commonly called "rusty junction" below the LH headlemp, where a section of the wiring harness rube against a tubular frame member, paint rubs off, and rust rubs through wire insulation. Needs headlamp unit removed for investigation. Forum member @Reg 65 has more knowledge of this potential problem.
Yes that was my thought also. As BCM is located in the cab, perhaps less vulnerable to moisture than the engine computer., but then some locations in NZ can be more than a little damp.Always worth to check those, as it's a common problem with the Ducatos.

But in the same idea, but more precise: it would be good to check which module is responsible for the indicators (probably body). And check it and its loom for potential condensation (=rust) inside + its connectors. Plus of course the fuse boxes (with relays) in the engine compartment + in the cab.
