I just wonder if anyone have had the same problem...
About 3-4 times now the parked up and locked car turns the indicator on!
All four on and they are not flashing. Open the car and lock it and all okay after?
Any ideas please?:welcome2:

I had a similar problem all 4 indicators would come on and stay on until I reset the alarm. It turned out to be rf interference. Not happened since I took out the blue wire from the RF receiver under the right hand parcel shelf. Only slight downside is you have to stand fairly close to the car to lock/unlock with the fob.

Thanks for that. Mind you I have to stand very close anyway for some reason. The keyfob only seem to operate just about 1-2 meter away from the car. Is that normal?

Sounds like the aerial has been disconected from the RF receiver.
