Hi all, I’ve been working on my discovery 2 and the hazards and indicators now have an issue. They were working fine and all of a sudden they flash once when turned on and then stop. The dash lights up once too, makes a funny clicking noise and then stops. Has anyone had this issue before?
I had a blown indicator bulb (in bumper) which made mine flash like crazy, and even when replaced (easy) it took several seconds pause before working again. I assumed a control module was doing some wiring/resistance checks before deciding all was OK.
So I suggest - check your bulbs and /or earth points, starting with the area you've been working on. ?
Blown bulbs are not always obvious to the naked eye, I sometimes use a jewelers loupe to see the filament close-up before I can see the break.
Of course, it might not be any of these, but I hope it's something simple & worth checking these first.

The bulbs have nothing to do with what you described in the first post, that can be an IDM(interior fusebox) or more likely a BCU fault.
Will a new bcu require re coding???

Yes, needs complex programming with nanocom or similar or you can send it to a repair center then it will remain synk'd, i have no personal experience with them but i've seen some good reviews about these guys https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133115857675 you'll have to call to find out the real prices though... the IDM is plug and play, you should rule that out first
You can check with a multimeter as, I agree, the break may not even be in the visible part of the filament.
