Indicators and Rear lights gone mad!!!!!

[ace]

just a lil update, it was the circuit board on the passenger side which was screwed, managed to pick one up from the local scrappy, so my lights a back to full working order

glad you got it fixed mate, if you can, or if a mod can, thenn it might be a good idea to put (NOW SOLVED) in the topic title. To help others find the helpfull thread if they have the same problem

There is already plenty of info on this common problem. Electricity will always take the easiest route to earth and if it cant get the easiest direct route it will take the next easiest route which is through another bulb to earth which is why you get these wierd things happening.

I know that, but others may not. As most people encourage new forum users to use the search function i suggested it for siad new commers benefit.

Who is going to search for now solved and what are the chances of it being the same solution in fact i would say that (pcb problem) is quite a rare instance of a bad earth more common for it to be the actual earth connection.

i didn't say change the title to "now solved" mearly add it to the title!! then if someone searches for indicator problems they would find this, see that it was a solved case and read it first instead of trawling through hundreds of posts that were never solved.

They pretty much all get solved bad earth common fault with confusing symptoms untill someone explains but easy to fix nevertheless just search for any such threads not necessarily this one.

[gtigolfthree]

You need to keep looking it will be the earth, did you give the metal a good scrape when you put new connectors on?
