1st read the manual The vec uses another bulb/lamp if one fails. Double check the side light on the side that your indicator is staying on. Odds on its gone or the connection is bad.

You sure you've not got a blown sidelight bulb... the indicator comes on to take over the job until the sidelight is replaced.

even a slack side or signal bulb can do this

Thanks for your reply,the side light bulbs are all ok and i cleaned the conn,i was out there and now when i sig left the o/s flashes and if i cancel it stays on again?

If it stays on it thinks the side light - the small 5w lamp - has failed. Try changing these again.

You didn't fit led's in there did you?

Also i unpluged the plug to the headlight and the green/white wire that is for the incator has a constant live but it shouldnt it should only flash as the bulb should?

i fitted two new bulbs please see my new post No led fitted

Thanks

Right, if the car thinks the side light has blown it uses the indicator in its place. Double and triple check the side light lamps. Change them anyway - just in case.

Edit: you fitted new indicator or side light bulbs?
