Hello,
My newly purchased R129 500 is plagued with gremlins.
The bulb warning light always appears when switching the sidelights on, all bulbs are working, front side lights, rear tail lights and plate lights (if they’re included in the warning). I have changed the side and taillights for new bulbs but I still get the warning bulb appear on the dash! (Didn’t change plate bulbs)
2ns issue
My high beam flasher doesn’t work, if I pull the stalk, nothing happens yet if I push it, the high beams work. I pulled the stalk out and tested it, no issues with the switch. I’m lost on what to check next.
3rd issue
This only occurred today after poking around pulling the fuse box up and out, my drivers side fog light just won’t work, I changed the bulb but no joy. I tapped the relay box behind the fuse box and noticed it would turn off the passenger side light!!! So, I’d there a relay in here which could be faulty?
HELPPPPPP I have gremlins giving me a nightmare.
I also noticed my fuel gauge needle flick to empty and then back when activity the indicators when just on ignition!
