I'm no P12 expert, but sounds like an earthing problem, normally resolved in the rear light cluster iirc

This is a well documented problem with the earth to the rear light cluster.
1st check you have no blown bulbs, then go to our how to section for the simple fix

I have the same problem. we have had earthing problem with left rear light and reverse camera. We got that sorted, so the lights and rear camera are ok now. But, when indicating left, the seat belt sound bleeps everytime the ind. light comes on. When indicating right, it sounds only once. I have tried by-passing the earthing (on lhs rear only) like you have in How to section (fixing a wire from light earth to screw on body, holding the light in position), but no help. Any ideas???

hi everyone
I have had this problem for a while,  loud beeping when right indicator is on all the time
and one beep with left indicator and then normal sound.

I have tried the earth wire fix, but it is still doing it

someone sugested reducing the indicator bulb wattage but i can only find 21w 12v which is normal, and I have replaced these for new ones, but still doing it ?

any further ideas would be greatfully received

You can get 10w standard bulb or LED.
Google indicator bulb 12v 10w and 12v led indicator bulb

Great to know these baffling symptoms have simple, known solution. This has started happening on my P12 CVT automatic 2003 - the indicators acquiring the seatbelt bleep intermittently, the reversing camera activating. I also had the sat nav intermittently getting lost, with the red location pointer flashing, turning 90 degrees each time and constantly re-routing.

The most serious symptom seemed to be a temporary lack of acceleration and the CVT kick down, which normally lets the rev counter soar round to 4,000 in an instant not doing much either. The other thing was the display that shows what "gear" you've selected going blank temporarily. Shifting into "manual" mode made no difference.

I guessed this weird range of symptoms probably had a simple explanation, but really, is it all down to a poor earth connection in a rear light cluster??

in your case do you think these things happen while you are turning the steering wheel? it could be the wiring loom on the steering wheel. I would give the earth fix a go first as some of the symptoms sound like that but perhaps not all

Several pounds lighter after a visit to my Nissan dealer...

They've done one cluster side (they said someone had done something in there already, which may be the earthing fix on NPOC) which has improved but not eradicated the indicator/seat belt chime mix-up, so it's back again after Easter for the other side to be done.

They asked if it was any better or worse indicating left or right - not sure, don't think there's any difference. I don't think that turning the steering wheel affects things. ( I have had that before, it would change radio stations on my old 05 SVE.)

I'm in the same boat as MikeC54 and minty9281;   one beep when indicating right, beeping-with-flashing when indicating left.
 
It has only been going on for three years so I thought I'd better see if I can fix it....
 
Yesterday I ran extra earth wires from the rear light clusters to ground. I made a really neat job of it, too, even if I do say so myself.
 
And you know what? It made no difference whatsoever....Cry
 
hey ho....
 
cheers

No I don't supose it would have worked I'm your case as you have the dreaded "car thinks it is towing" problem to which there is not a satisfactory solution

There was this solution involving a wire cutter.... Someone cut the wires to the beeper in the dash behind the clocks.
Pre-facelift IIRC.

thanks for the link to that post.
 
Mine has no towbar and is an 03 plate hatchback BTW.
 
I might try the bub removal trick; if that works, then see about fitting some lower wattage bulbs, LED ones maybe.
 
The weird thing is that it didn't always do this.  I am now wondering if it perhaps started when I replaced some dysfunctional bulbs or something.
 
cheers

I cant tell from the photograph the internal layout, backplate arrangement of bulb holder fixing but you are going to have to figure out how to affix and earth wire to it and run it to a fixing

Sorry again guys to disturb you with my problem.

As I said above you are going to have to adapt the fix. Separate the back plate from the housing to get access and route the earth wire through one of the opening if it will go drill a route through.at a push bring it out the side where the seal is.
To be honest I don't think you need to do any of that if you were to check that the lamp you replaced was an exact match for the burnt out on, I suspect it is not the same.


Posted By: roy.2
Date Posted: 12 Jan 2019 at 3:21pm
Isbou. Is the light you put on the same as the one that came off?  If so, you will have no trouble doing the fix as the bulb holders in the back are very similar to the one in the fix.  Thumbs Up

Berline is French for Saloon/Sedan/4 Door. Says Google Big smile

The Pic Isbou has linked has wires going to individual Plastic Bulb Holders.
Not the 'Metal Frame' that is in the How To.

I would guess that you would need to check if the Ground is shared to all the Bulb Holders and splice an additional ground from the wire to some Metalwork.

My bad Ian. I only looked at the 1st picture. Ouch  It's a strange one is that. There must be a main Earth wire that goes into the individual bulb holders, he will need to tap into that. Thumbs Up

Hello thank you all for your reply, I'm sorry I'm frenchman and berline=4doors as said by imckay.
each bulb has its earth wire, so I managed to create another earth wire leaving each bulb also but the problem persist.

Another thing, I had an accident a month ego which break the right light, before the accident the right light is similar than the how to one, but now it's what I show you and the left light is similar than in the how to.

conclusion I have different model of rear light, may be the problem come from there.

Date Posted: 12 Jan 2019 at 10:31pm
So did you have to cut and splice the wires or was it plug & play?

I think given the issues have told us about the car has got confused, and thinks it is towing a trailer, do you have a tow bar? I take it the rear light was damaged during some sort of accident. I am unsure whether there is a satisfactory fix for this, how ever I think if you read the entire thread for this post you will get a better idea of what I am talking about. On page two there is a link to a Russian site that claims to have a solutionThumbs Up
