Ten days ago we locked our trusty Berlingo and went on holiday. On returning, unlocked the vehicle but got the usual manic 'you've done something silly' bleeping and 'Economy mode active' on the display.
The car started and ran fine and the bleeping stopped so we put it down to being one of those things.
Yesterday was the same except this time the indicators aren't working properly and their behaviour is inconsistent. Sometimes they work perfectly, sometimes you flick the switch and there's none of the usual clicking that accompanies the turn signal, and I don't think the dashboard arrows illuminate either.
Switch them off/on a few times and they start to work again, and today while waiting a long time at a junction they stopped and then restarted without intervention.
Any clues on best place to start please folks? Is the switch favourite or is there a relay perhaps, or maybe the flasher unit? I found one thread where switch cleaner on the column switch resolved an indicator problem - but what's with all the bleeping?
The car is 10 years old admittedly, but well cared for. A few weeks back it cost us an annual service, MOT, new aircon condenser, 4 new tyres, and a brake fluid change so I could do with this being a nice simple DIY fix! Thanks in anticipation.
