Hi folks - I'm a newbie on the forum.
We have a 2011 Ducato 2.2 120 multijet panel van that's been converted by Devon into a camper.
We have an odd fault I'm stumped with so hoping someone might have a better idea than the option we've been given by our local Fiat dealer!
The problem is the nearside front indicator is not working at all.
Its been into the the local Fiat dealer who want it back in for further diagnostics after an initial look that proved fruitless.
They've suggested it may need a new BCM which apparently costs £1100 for the new unit - same old story that the cost of everything has soared recently
The bulb doesnt flash on hazards or when you lock the vehicle with the remote.
Also it doesn't fast flash to indicate a fault and there is no light on the dash to indicate a bulb out.
All other lights work and there are no other problems I'm aware of apart from some lights on the dash glow a bit in the dark.
I've changed the bulb and swapped the bulb holder from the one on the opposite side, I've also tried swapping the entire headlamp unit as well but still no joy.
If I measure the voltage at the contact points on the bulb holder it fluctuates from 11.6v - 9.9v, I presume the fluctuation is for the flash.
On the working (drivers) side the voltage is exactly 12v fluctuating to 9.9v.
I'm surprised that the small drop of 0.4v is enough for the bulb not to light but I've been told it's down to "loading" which I dont really understand.
As a last resort I wondered if i could run a wire from the working rear indicator to the wire feeding the faulty indicator but would that confuse the BCM and cause other problems to surface I wonder?!
Any help or ideas much appreciated!
Thank you
