I have a '17 Eldiss motorhome based on a Peugeot Boxer and have a strange warning light coming on on the dash. It's the orange triangle with an exclamation mark in it, which according to Peugeot is a general light failure warning. The light comes on when I select reverse and then stays on until I restart the M/H and is accompanied by a fault line on the dash saying "check rev lights".

It's been in to my local Peugeot dealer four times and have had various "suggestions" from them each one promising the fault's cured. These range from changing the reversing light bulbs, changing the daylight running light bulbs, refuelling the tank and today being told the fault is within the rear light cluster which they now say needs to be replaced. You'll not be surprised to hear that the Peugeot dealer says that's an Eldiss warranty issue and not theirs.

Anyone any ideas what I could try next? I don't want to take it to the dealer I bought if from, they're almost 200 miles away and I've not found them helpful at all on other issues and I just know if I take it to them it'll be a week's trial to get them to do anything.

Any ideas please?

That's less than a year old, isn't it? This is obviously a warranty issue. If you mess around with it you risk the dealer blaming you for the problem and declining responsibility for it.

I assume 'rev lights is a reference to reversing lights. Do the reversing lights and the rest of the rear lights all work correctly?

It's Elddis btw.smile

Difficult one, ultimately it's the suppyling dealer's responsibility to fix, hence why it's never a good idea to buy from one many miles away (Unless you have to)

I have had two new Elddis motorhomes and come across this before, Peugeot and Elddis both blaming each other when a problem arises.

A decent auto sparky should sort this fairly easily I would have thought

Good luck.

You might have more luck with a motorhome dealer. Look for one locally.

If that were me, I would be stocking up the 'van & heading up to park on his entrance until it was fixed.
