Side light warning

Had a warning come up twice now, “side light error” (can’t remember exact wording) and service light come on, next minute it goes off. Checked lights when it’s showing and can’t see any not working. When it says side lights, which bulbs does it exactly indicate then 8 will check see if it’s a bad connection.

Had the economy mode also flash up and the battery light flash, is that likely to indicate the battery on 5he way out? Could well be the original battery and it is an 07.

Just been out to car, put keys in ignition and no warnings at all it will return though I’m sure, so may have to check all the light connectors for corrosion.

I think you find it is the little W5W lamps
. Its difficult to see if they are working if the other lamps are on in the headlight.
They go black when blown (usually)

information message - faulty side lamp

No, you probably left the keys in the ignition for too long without starting the battery.

Thanks for that, will look at the bulbs. Didn’t think I had left them in the ignition for that long, what is the time you have between putting the key in and starting before the warning appears?
