147 GTA funny 5

I dont think my 147 liked the bad weather on friday night as when i started her up on saturday morning the warning lights told me that my near side headlights, off side headlights and number plate light had all failed.

Yet when i checked everything was working fine , still they have gone out now and they have not come back on so all is well

I guess your 147 just wanted you to check her lights

Mine brings up a bulb failure to the fog and rear light more or less every few weeks, as long as the light bulb symbol does not illuminate I just ignore the warning! If the symbol stays on then 'll replace the bulb!

Re: 147 GTA funny 5

I haven't had any spurious warnings for over a year now.
We've just had several days of heavy rain & flooding in Abu Dhabi and I have been expecting tantrums..... but so far no problems.

Re: 147 GTA funny 5

I have a similar issue with my GT, front right sidelight reports an error every so often. Got garage to check it out and they replaced 4 bulbs, 3 at front and one at the rear.

They said if it happend again that it could be a wiring problem which would need further investigation.

My latest theory is that its related to cold temperatures. 9 times out of 10 it fails if it is 3-4 degrees or less.....
