Posting this before I've done a proper investigation, as I'll have the Surf in a friends garage in a couple of days and want to know where to start looking.
The truck's started beeping when the indicator's on. It's similar to the reverse beeper, but I think it's coming from the tail gate. It sounds when the indicator light is lit on the dash, and varies in pitch and volume, sometimes not sounding at all.
I suspect an intermittent short circuit between the indicator system and either the reversing beeper, or the beeper which I seem to remember sounds when you attempt to lower the rear window with the key, when the wiper isn't properly stowed. It seems to be affected by cold/wet, so I suspect it's shorting through a damp area with broken insulation.
The rear demister recently packed up again, so I suspect there is a problem with the wiring loom where it enters the tail gate. But since the indicator's aren't in the tailgate, I'm a bit stumped where the actual short might be.
Any suggestions?
