The parking light I believe is the light that stays on if you leave your indicator on and lock the car up.

The reason for this I think is to allow drivers to see your car parked on an unlit road.

Right indicator would illuminate front and rear os lights ( driver side ) and left would do the same for the ns lights ( passengers side )

The lights that illuminated are the sidelights.

Best thing to do is put your left indicator on switch off car and see if the passenger side light is illuminated. If not then check the rear. Also check the other side, right indicator on ignition of.

Whilst you're at it you may as well check all your lights are working especially all side lights.

 

If you have the ignition off and turn just the side lights on(first switch setting) check you have 2 lights on at the front, let us know how it goes

 

Hi,
Thanks for the replies. Both lights look the same. So they both seem to be working ok?

 

Get someone to run through your lights with you, sidelights first with ignition off, then turn ignition on and turn on dipped beam next then after that main beam.

 

Will try tomorrow, thanks very much

 

Hello, sorry for the delay in replying. I have checked all my lights and a mechanic also confirmed all the lights are working ok. So sound like a ECU error? Is there any way to correct this without have to pay for diagnostic equipment to remove the error.
Thanks very much

 

Did you check left and right indicator on, engine off, ignition off, car locked?

 

No, have not tried that. Will try tomorrow morning. Thanks

 

Let me know how you get on:thumbsup

 

Hi,
I am not able to turn on the indicator lights if the ignition is not on?
I checked all the hazard lights and they are ok
Any ideas?
Cheers

 

Hi jgriffi,

Were you able to use the indicators without the ignition previously?

I ask this because I am not sure you are meant to be able to do this?!

What is the reason you need to use them with no ignition on out of interest?

Hazards are different as they are classed as an emergency function.

 

Hi, have checked in the manual and it says that with the ignition off, if you push the indicators switches past the pressure point, then up turns on the right hand side parking lights (for if you leave it in a dark street) and down is the left hand side. I have tried this and it works. It turns on 2 lights on the front. One time I tried on the left hand side lights was not on, so i tapped the light and it came on. As this is the error message - "front parking light failure", I wonder if the light has a loose wire or something, causing the error message. All other times the lights work ok, but I still get the error message.
Could it be a loose wire?

Thanks everyone for your help.
Jo

 

HI Jo

Sounds like a bad earth or dodgy connection on the front light.

Could be as simple as needing to reseat the bulb,


The best thing to do is remove the bulb, clean the contacts and check for anything obvious and make sure the bulb is reseated correctly.

Then if the light comes on ok you have fixed it...however the fault code will still show and you will need it resetting by a garage with the right kit.

only a cheap job...around £25 ish

 

Thanks very much for you help. After fiddling around today, the light is staying on ok when I test it and error message seems to be gone. May have been i just slightly moved something and all connections etc now ok. If error message does reappear I will take to a garage to clear the message.

Thanks again.

 

Excellent :cool
Another happy customer :hihi

 

Thank you - issue all resolved
