Seeking Advice on Fixing Unexpected Lighting Issues in 2010 Nissan Evalia
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
A 2010 Nissan Evalia is experiencing unexpected lighting issues, with lights turning on randomly and sometimes showing error signals. The suspected cause is a limited function of the light switch, but it could also be a faulty plug connection or wiring issue, as suggested by a similar case with a 2008 Nissan NV200. The recommended solution is to take the vehicle to a local mechanic for a comprehensive diagnostic check of the entire lighting system, not just the switch, to identify and resolve the problem effectively.

Hey, thanks for the quick reply! No specific error codes that I could note, it just seems like the lighting goes rogue. Good to hear that your issue didn't cost you an arm and a leg. I think I might just take it to my local mechanic this coming week, cause honestly, I'm more of a learn-as-I-go guy when it comes to car repairs. Anyway, my Evalia is currently sitting at a mileage of 178,830 km. I keep it serviced regularly though, last one was just a couple of months ago. Hope that helps and again, appreciate your input!

Hey there, no trouble at all! Sounds like your ride's got some miles on it, but regular servicing is definitely a good move. Without specific error codes, it's a bit tough to nail down the exact issue, but I'd still bet on some kind of wiring or connection problem. The symptoms your Evalia's showing - lights turning on unexpectedly, sometimes giving error signals - it's pretty similar to what happened with my NV200. Taking it to your local mechanic is definitely a sound call. They can run a full diagnostic and hopefully turn up some concrete answers. Just be sure they check the whole lighting system, not just the switch, yeah? And don't worry about being a "learn-as-I-go" type. Most of us car enthusiasts start off like that, picking it up bit by bit over the years – you'll get there too! Looking forward to hearing back on what the mechanic says. Fingers crossed it won't cost too much. Cheers!

Hey, thanks a ton for the reassurance and advice! Your suggestion about checking the whole lighting system and not just the switch makes loads of sense. Getting a comprehensive check done sounds wise in this context. And yeah, being a "learn-as-I-go" type can be a bit daunting but it's always good to learn something new, isn't it? I'll keep you posted once I get a word from the mechanic. Fingers crossed it all goes smooth. Thanks again for your help. Cheers!

Hey, a similar thing actually happened with my 2008 Nissan NV200, it's practically an older brother to your Evalia. I come with some greasy hands experience, could wire a plug but wouldn't build a car from scratch, you know? Turns out my issue was actually a faulty plug connection messing up the signals. Took it to my local workshop, blokes there were super helpful, explained it all. Paid about €222.50 to get it squared away, didn’t hurt the pocket too much. It sounds like your Evalia could have a similar problem, but I'll need a bit more info about your car and the issue. Any specific error codes popping up? Write back soon, happy to help you out with what I know. Cheers!
