May or may not be related, but they've reset the fault code, and all seems to be as it should be.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just got back from Le Mans. While there, it was pointed out to me that my NS brake light was out. I replaced the bulb and it was still out. Interestingly, though, with the ignition on and my foot on the brake, the FNS sidelight comes on. Anyone had a similar problem, or has my car just gone all French on me? (oh, it's a 98 C2) Any views welcome before I take it to an autoelectrician..... Jon

POST 2Original post

Sounds like it might be a bad earth somewhere. Also, light switches and ignition switches are prone to failure and giving these sorts of weird electrical problems when the internal contacts break up. An autoelectrician might be your best bet......

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

All fixed! You were quite right Richard - a bad earth to the NSR light. As I set off to the autoelectrician this morning the airbag light came on too. May or may not be related, but they've reset the fault code, and all seems to be as it should be. Regards Jon
