Espace Turn Signal Fault

Hello, I have a 2012 Renault Espace with a diesel engine. The driver's side turn signal lamp is acting up. An error is stored, and I'm getting a lighting system fault message on the speedometer. I'm guessing it's a bad cable or plug. Anyone else seen this?

Hey, I had something similar with my Espace. Turn signals can be tricky. Was it the same side, and did you try a new bulb first? They're known to fail. Also, did this start after any work on the car?

Thanks! It's the driver's side. I did try a new bulb, but no luck. And no recent work on the car. Could it still be a connection even with a new bulb?

Yep, sounds like my problem. The new bulb not fixing it really points to wiring or a connector issue. The connectors corrode, or a wire can chafe and break. I'd get a workshop to look at it before you start tearing into the wiring yourself. Cost me about 95€ to get it sorted.

Thanks for the advice! Good to know it could be a connection even after replacing the bulb. I'll take it to a workshop and have them check the wiring. Seems best to avoid making things worse. They found the problem, it was a defective cable. Repair cost was 95€. Thanks again!
