Horn and backup lights are on fuse S12, nothing else.  Horn is live
all the time, operates when you ground it through the horn ring.

Directional front and rear both?  If so that implies a supply
problem, as they have separate grounds.

If not, check to see if running light goes out when you apply the
brakes -- if so, it's a bad ground to the fixture, and the running
light is grounding through the brake light.

Do you have your Bentley with you?
