Side light staying on, even when car is off and lights are off!
« on: January 16, 2014, 08:58:11 am »
My drivers side front side light bulb is staying on!

All the lights are off, car is turned off and locked and the indicator is not up or down yet my side light stays on!

I have had to take the bulb out but my car is coming up for its MOT.

Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this? I have tried changing the bulbs but it still happens!

Thanks in advance!

Have you changed any bulbs or undertaken any other work were you may have caught a wire on refitting?

If not my next move would be - start by scanning the car with VCDS if all reads ok - would move on to a few output testes.

If none of the above solve it I'm guessing either water Ingres into a module or module has failed like J519
