I'm having issues with my lights.
Have cleaned terminals and checked bulbs
I had a faulty wire or switch for the Reverse the switch now works but activates the LH indicator!
Now having problems with indicator and side lights on together.
Have checked the earth on the LH rear cluster and even added an extra earth to no avail.:cry:
I am getting a reading of a few volts from the indicator (4v) when just the side light is on (11v)?
I have checked the wiring in the footwell and that seems ok but I can't find out what colour wire does what in the Haynes manual!!? :confused:

Any other earths to check or pointers?

I have disconnected the loom to the rear lights of the car one at a time to test and the problem is still there on each side. It has to be something at the front!?

Oh i didn't realise you could put them on upside down? I better check tomorrow. I've had them apart a hundred times now.

Charged battery and I had indeed got the connector on the lights the wrong way up.
It takes patience to post these days but needed to say thanks to Modfather:agree:
