Pesky lights

[slack ma girdle]

I have fitted and extra set of brake and indicator lights to the back of my landrover. So when i am towing trailers with dodgy lights, which seems to be most of them, the people behind can see what i am doing.

All work bar the left hand indicator which will flash if you bridge the bulbs metal case to earth on the metal of the landrover.

 

What am i doing wrong ?

Bad earth in existing loom. Does it stop flashing when indicator off or just flash all the time?

If the indicator is turned off then it also stops flashing.

[Rich2484]

Bad earth. Run a new earth from this light to a body part. Should fix the problem ok.

 

Bad earths count for 80% of light not working as they should.

Could you post some pics up when your done? I'm intrigued!

Sounds like earth to me too, all my lamps now are earthed direct back to the battery rather than just hoping the body/chassis will carry current. The 110 is also wearing trailer lamps on the back as they are easier to maintain, cheaper to replace when smashed and dont have pyromaniac tendencies like the crappy wipac ones!

Cheers Fella, it's food for thought because I was going to put working lights there - however these would be handy too. Probably wait until we have a roof rack on, shove the work lights on that and trailer lights on the cab bits like yours...

 

 

Makes mine look really clean!
