    I have a strange problem with my right blinker. It has just started staying on intermittently after activating OR De activating my central locking. It will stay on even when driving, and is not affected in anyway by using my indicators. Its very frustrating having to pull over and lock and unlock the car until it stays off, afterwhich all is fine. Any thoughts??? Is there a way i can connect to the cars computer to check the error log??

    In the VZ Ute? I'd take it back to Holden to get it checked under your warranty.

    It'll most likely be the BCM.

    Very common problem with VZ's. It will be the BCM. Approx $500 with new key head from Holden, or PM Doctor Bob - he repairs them for considerably less.

    VY exec
    I have this problem with my 2003 VY Exec (ex-cop car).
    Sometimes it is the right indicator lamps that stay on, other times the left. Disconnecting the battery for a period did not fix it. Only locking and unlocking the car repeatedly and holding tongue right. Very frustrating.
    Same deal as OP, only happens after using central locking, not always, but more often than not these days. Could it also be something to do with the alarm, immobiliser, computer?

    What is the BCM? And could it be something else that is wrong (cheaper to fix) lol?? Thanx.

    Thanks to user 'pezouni' for assiting with the fix. If anyone having issues in Melbourne with VZ indicator sticking, Contact him.

    or if you can live without your car you can post the BCM to me.
