kevin50 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Got my defender back from the paint shop today and the Indicators are on the blink. must have done something when he has had lights off for painting. rear right does not work, and the front left has a mind of its own, when turned on they flashes very fast a they do when one is off, but the side light on front left flashes away with the rest and the orange lens does nothing untill I turn lights on then it thinks its a constant side light. got me really confused, ive checked fuses and they are ok all earths seem to be ok too. Any Ideas ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Incorrectly reconnected when they refitted the lights is my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkie Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Yep, I think Western had it spot on. Carefully check the connections are right and then recheck the earths. In my experience the most devious electrical demons are summoned through bad earths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin50 Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 Only checked earths for tightness, but will lose them off tomorrow and clean them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin50 Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 Removed and cleaned every earth and was still the same. Swapped the live wires from side light to indicator on left front and they now work as they should. Just the rear right indicator, checked wires changed bulb but nothing, thinking only thing it can be now is the bulb holder, will try and find one and try it. unless ive missed something else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkie Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 You could always temporarily fit a known good one from the front to check the wiring works 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
