The ns rear indicator light stays on . If you open the car it still stays on . If you open boot it still stays on but if you open boot and press unlock it goes off . If you shut boot and lock it the light comes back on

Does playing with the indicator stalk have any effect?

Some cars have a parking mode that leaves an indicator on if you leave stalk up or down. Something might be confused in that circuit

No indicator is off . Parking light works . I haven't changed any bulbs in it but it's not my car . I'll have another look tomorrow . Can't understand how it only comes on when boot gets shut .

does it do the same if you press the boot light pin as though its shut or only when the boot is physically shut?

Try disconnecting the battery for 30mins - 1hr to reset the canbus. Fixes most gremlins in the system.

Had a few similar problems with the astravans. Bulb would be gone. Replace bulb and still not working... worked a treat to ignition off n unplug all the modules located at the nsr on the vans not sure werre on the cars though.

I'm racking my brains here. Had the same fault on an Astra/Vectra estate over a year ago now.

Can't for the life of me remember how we sorted it though
