Electrics

Hi I hope someone can help,I've got trouble with the lights and indicators,the indicators are flashing really quick on the front yet the tail lights are flashing at the rear!
If I turn on the side lights that also lights up the rear indicator bulbs but very dimly!
I've checked and cleaned all the earths they seem fine,checked the rear looms both sides also fine,I've pulled the dash out to check everything is back on behind there.
The car has been in bits for 3 years and before I dismantled it I made sure all the electrics worked so I wonder if I've got something the wrong way round maybe??.
Would someone have a picture of how all the wires go on the alternator please?,maybe i've got them wrong??.

Thanks.

bad earth on rear lights more than likely

Hi,I've checked the rear earths along with the rear looms they seem fine but thanks for your reply.

What solved the problem then? An answer is always handy for people doing a search in the future

After a lot of messing about I found 2 earth wires had broken behind the dash in the loom that runs accross the top and then goes down to the passengers kick pannel.......what a bloody job that's been.
