indicator and side light gremlins...

Recommended Posts

ive got a couple of those annoying little problems with my c and wondered what u guys thought

 

1. when indicating right the indicators flash very fast and the noise is fast too compared to the left. all the bulbs are working fine, and they flash normally when the hazards are on..very strange!

 

2. when i brake both stationary and one of my side lights comes on!!

 

any ideas? thanks

1. There is a bulb out somewhere on that side for sure.

2. Probably a broken filament shorting out to the sidelights when you brake. Replace both tail/stop light bulbs if you don't know what you are looking for.

u were right gavin,

 

replacing both brake light bulbs fixed the side light coming on when braking prob

 

and on further investigation one of the rear indictors had a wrong bulb in so despite working the car didnt like it. got that replaced and its all back to normal speed!

 

thanks for your help, two more things crossed of the to do list!!!! :D
