Random Events or Electrically Linked?
The story so far.
The vehicle: 2015 Carthago Chic C-Line. Somewhat neglected since Oct. 2022. It has stood on my drive on EHU but otherwise untouched due to me still recovering from a spinal fracture about 12 months ago.
A while back I found the Vanbitz Growler was not working correctly with the hab and passenger doors; all other sensors were working.
Today I took the van to Vanbitz (VB) for rectification. It started first time and drove like it had never been off the road. Weather foul, really heavy rain. On the way I noticed that the OAT was indicating 3 degs on the dash, whereas the actual OAT was about 9 degs.
Arrived at VB and the fault was corrected. New sensor magnets needed on the two doors. Thanks Ash, Nick and team.
Left VB for home in Yeovil again in more torrential rain.
Just outside Taunton in heavy traffic my right-hand indicators failed. Nothing from all three lights. It really upset a BMW driver when I used a hand signal.
The problem continued to Southwest MH’s who were kind enough to get their electrician to look it over. He could only spare about 10 mins and was unable to find the cause. Booked the van in for an in-depth check and left. On the way back it all came back again and is still working. The only fault still present is the incorrect OAT.
So, what is the problem or problems and how should I proceed, and where is the temperature sensor located?

I found the OAT sensor tucked up behind the front nearside wheel near the marker light,only a tiny thing.
