Strange fault code p0708

Looks like a faulty lightswitch is at the heart of your issues. Easy enough to change.

Looks as though you also have a faulty level sensor on the Nearside Front, although I would have expected that to cause the DCC button to flash with an error.

Yes it does seem to be the issue although i did buy a new lightswitch and it was still the same but it was a non genuine item maybe i should try a genuine one .

Maybe worth checking the connections to the lightswitch on the off-chance a terminal has been damaged, although to be honest that's unlikely if you had the issue before the switch was disturbed. If you're competent with a multimeter, try to get hold of a wiring diagram and check connections to and from the switch.

Good luck...
