It's an annoyance, but not a massive issue.
When i lock the vehicle, before I changed the incandescent bulbs to LED, they used to blink. Not so with the LED ones. Mostly bearmack and nakantanenga. (Bearmach LED relay) Does anyone else have this issue? Is it common and if so what LEDs blink and what just stay off. I May change them, I may just grumble a bit. |

Mine work ok.
Are you sure it’s not just your remote battery getting flat? |

Nope. Not a single flash on unlock or lock
Have 2 remotes and both have decent battery. The lights work perfectly normally in all other ways. All are quite new with the led relay. I thought it'd be a common issue. |

Have you fitted a adjustable flash relay to replace the standard item?

The relay is a standard led unit with the Bearmach kit.
The indicators work which is confusing the heck out of me. I’ll check hazards, but assuming they do too. Surely this means the led relay is fine? I’ve seen the relays with adjustment on them, but this isn’t mine. Where are they from? |

Possibly.
Does anyone have a fuse list for the puma 2.2. Is this one under the dash or seat box? Are they the same for the 2.2 as they are for the 2.4? https://www.lrworkshop.com/electrics/defen...nd-headers I'm struggling to think if they (LED) ever worked with the central lock or just recently. |

Finally managed to track the problem down.
Turns out someone did a security mod to stop the side indicator short from disabling the imobiliser. But they had done so in a way as to use stotchlock inline fuse holders that had wiggled loose on one side and blown a fuse on the other. They tried to do a good thing. But did it cheaply. I love this car. Just wonder what I'm going to find next. Cheers for all the suggestions. No-one could have foreseen what i found. PCM |

Shorting the indicators will not disable the immobiliser, but will disable the alarm on vehicles of a certain age which have not had the mod to prevent this from happening applied. |
