Due to my DIY ineptitude, SWMBO does not allow me a toolset- so should / could I replace?


I had exactly this issue on the Aeromax.

Long story short, it turned out to be an early symptom of a failing battery. The CANBUS electrics do not like even a small voltage drop before triggering bizarre warning lights and safety cut outs - in my case, not firing up the HT feeds to the HIT headlamp ballasts. New battery fixed it. I also learned that a CTEK charger slowly kills the battery over time, even though apparently keeping it 'fully charged'.

Worth a battery swap to see if it resolves.
