[five alive]

Have discovered that there is fault with my side lamp operation

1) On start up the front sidelamps will go off approx 15 seconds later

2) Switching off and removing the key,No side lamps front/rear

3) Switch ignition on/off and the side lamps will operate

4) Start vehicle and same issue each time

Any help appreciated

Exactly which lights are you talking about?

THE front side/parking lamps in the middle of the headlamp 501 capless bulbs.

Hello five alive.

Do you have the amber marker lights on the sides of your headlights?

If you do and they are working, the diagram I have suggests that they share wiring with the sidelight bulbs.

I think we need more detail and precise ignition/switch positions.

Trying to help? The reason for the question, if you have the markers and they are working the problem is within the headlight unit or the bulbs themselves. If the complete front sidelight circuit is playing up then you need to look elsewhere, likely the CEM.

Sorted,does not have the amber lamps fitted but a quick code read and its all ok

The amber lights are standard so check the bulbs.
So what was the issue and how was it fixed?
