Hi I own a 14 plate MP3 500CC LT SPORT TOURING

I was out on it earlier with no issues however tonight just out the blue all dash lights and brake lights switched on WITHOUT the keys being in the ignition. I disconnected the battery for overnight and will have a look in the morning. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated as I'm far from being a mechanic. I am disabled and this is my main means of getting around. My nearest Piaggio dealer is a 90 minute ride from home.

Did you try starting it again with the key, then switching it off again? I'm guessing that the ignition switch contacts were stuck, or possibly if your MP3 has an alarm that flashes the lights then that triggered accidentally. Switching it on and off may clear the fault.

Do you have any after-market accessories or customisations fitted?

Just thinking that the original wiring may have been disturbed or re-routed at some time.

First thing to do is check both fuse banks under the seat and on left floorboard.
