So the "bulb failure"-light turned on my dash and the car says "Check front left turn signal". Well it is working just fine and if I remove the bulb I get 2nd warning "Check front left turn signal!". So exactly like the first warning, but now with an exclamation mark. When I do this I get two warnings at the same time. One with the !-mark and one without. If I re-attach the bulb the warning with the !-mark goes away, but the one without the !-mark stays.
Is the electronics giving up on my Rocco? This sounds really bad, since this is usually how the wonky electronic problems start.

Re: Check front left turn signal
Update: I changed the bulb to a new one. But the error message remains. So it indeed seems that there is something wrong with the electronics.

Re: Check front left turn signal
Wihout access to a multimeter to check for resistance in the wiring loom to that bulb it would be worth making a simple check and that is to make sure the bulb is of the correct wattage. It's possible that the original bulb was on its way out and not working at full power causing the warning light. Then mistakenly the wrong wattage bulb was fitted and fools the computer to think the bulb is still out when it isn't. It's not always the case but may be a good place to start. If you need to know the correct wattage check the other side. If you have already made sure of the wattage then apologies
