I currently have an earth problem..

the rear lights, the right hand side indicator, and the reverse lights stay on dim all the time when the cars running... when i reverse the car cuts out, or when i put the lights on the car wants to cut out...

it's definitly an earth problem... the gearbox earth had snapped, replaced that and problem is still there, checked all fuses and relays, same problem..

then i was messing around with the rear lights earth and it seemed to solve the problem... car was running fine etc... then after a few hours, took it out of my mates garage, and had the same problem... dim lights..

is there any other earths around the rear lights? or any other earths connected to that etc. and has anybody had same/similar problems?


cheers!

check the condition of the rear light connectors, on mine i was getting the indicator flashing whilst braking, I looked at the rear light and found the connector had melted the light contacts causing a serious problem. so on the light side check the contacts havent melted.
