Rear Indicators

Driving home in my new Bourton from the Dealers wondering when overtaking on the motorway or on roundabouts why people kept flashing and banging their hones and shaking fists etc. We could find nothing outside wrong with the Van but still the flashing continued etc

On taking it into storage with the wife in car behind she noticed that I kept indicating the wrong way?

On checking we discovered although the front indicators worked properly the rear was doing the opposite!
We were hoping to go away next week but the insurance company said 'Too dangerous' to use.
Waiting for the dealer to come back with a response/solution.

Wonder anyone experienced this problem before and is it difficult to fix?

To maintain the operation of the base vehicle bulb detection circuits on vans with the new LED rear light clusters, ballast resistors are connected in parallel to the LED's.  The resistors are fixed under the floor and I would guess that is where the wiring has been crossed - should be an easy fix.

That's certainly a question I would be asking.....

I imagine the PDI check goes much like the quick pre MoT check I carry out with my wife, she stands in front while I operate all the lights and indicators, getting a thumbs up. She then moves behind the van and we repeat the check. 
Opposite flasher operation would be missed.

Oi! Leave taxi drivers alone. As for BMW's I find Audi drivers much worse these days.

Exactly but you have got to ask how it left the Factory like that in the first place . Excellence indeed......

Alan Curry from AS came to our storage unit yesterday and fixed the faulty rear indicators in 10 minutes.
Wiring underneath rear - very pleased with the response & service.

Hope don't experience the 'other problems with the electrics' that some have experienced with their new Burton's.
