After a track event, my turn signals and alarm/immobilizer aren't working. My headlights and tail lights work fine. Everything else electrical works fine.

Is this a fuse issue....or something else?

My battery is also having trouble holding charge....have to trickle it even after a day's ride.

a) Although the turn signal lights are used by the alarm, they are independently fused and controlled also, and should still work for signaling, do they? Check fuses F6 & F9
b) Does the interior light work?
c) Check fuse F11 & R2?
d) Have you done any work on the car?

Hi Michael, thanks for the reply....

There has been a lot of work done on the car...turn signal delete with rewiring of DRL's....LED light upgrades with rewiring...

My car is at the body shop, so I can't check fuses just yet, but I'll do so as soon as I get it back - are those fuses in the front (under right access panel?) or in the rear?

Fuses starting with F = Front, C = Cockpit, R = Rear (engine bay)
You are going to have to do some trouble shooting, with a meter, eyes and being able to read the wiring diagrams. If I can be of any help, don't hesitate.
Check those fuses first.

U didn't by anychance pull ur center console out for the trackday or anything did u? If u pull out the hazard lights switch it creates a break in the circuit so the turn signals won't work. Just a shot in the dark :shrug:

This just happened to me as well!! What was the cause?

Just did 6/19 at Thunderhill, noticed on the way home, turn signals not working! I checked my fuses last night, all look fine...the center console idea was interesting since I had a terrible time shifting into 3rd on hard acceleration..maybe the wiring harness was in the way and got mangled/pulled off. Before I pull the center console it'd be nice to see what your fix was...thanks

My car is being worked on now, and part of the failure was due to a crappy battery...(there were also some blown fuses - long story).

Now the issue is that alarm/immobilizer has reset and I don't have the PIN # to reset....anybody know how to reset the alarm without the PIN?

At this time, either the remote or PIN is needed to disarm the alarm /immobilizer. The PIN can be obtained though a dealer.
Coming soon, I am developing a simple system that will enable arming / disarming of the alarm / immobilizer and unlocking of the doors through an alternative method.
Cheers,
Michael
