A rollover lamp on the auxiliary lamp driver board stays lit. Replacing the SCR the schematic points to (and its driver chip) doesn't help.

Rollover lamp stuck on after a new SCR: schematic labels swapped

Cause: The schematic has the top left and top right rollover lamps the wrong way round, so the wrong SCR was being replaced. The SCR actually driving the stuck lamp (Q6) had failed.

Checks

  • Unplug the lamp board connector to confirm the lamp goes out (rules out a wiring short).
  • Check the wire colours at the lamp against the board connector rather than trusting the lamp names on the schematic.

Fix

  • Replace the SCR that really drives the stuck lamp.
