Fast indicator when brake pedal is applied

Postby sagum » Fri Jun 03, 2016 12:38 am

Hi guys.

I have a bit of a weird problem. In the day time, my right turn at the back of the car flashes faster if I apply the brake pedal. At night, the lights are on and will flash fast regardless.

I'm assuming it's something to do with the brake bulb earthling. It's very dim as well.

Any ideas where to start looking or how to find the short/grounding issue?

it's a 05 plate pre-facelift

hi check the plug into the light cluster is secure and has no corrosion also check bulb holder for corrosion if they are ok use a multimeter to find the earth wire on the light wire plug and add a wire from the earth to a suitable earthed bolt/screw near to the light
if at first you don't succeed get a bigger hammer

Yes, it's the earth wire fault. This old thread may be of use as well.
