Front indicator and sidelights

Post by Matt » Wed Apr 02, 2014 8:11 pm

Hi guys,

Fitted my new bumper today so I removed the indicator side lights

When I plugged them back in I now have the side lights flashing instead of the indicators, and the side repeaters have stopped working

Any ideas?????
Thanks

Is it a new front bumper, powder coated. It is possible the bumper is not earthed to the chassis, though unlikely. :er:

The light are attached to the top of the new bumper, I connected the wires dactyl how they came off and the indicators don't flash but the sidelights do

It's only temporary as I'm going to order some LEDs

It isn't as simple as the indicator lamp holder in the sidelight and vice versa is it?

I'm still going with no earth.
The indicator circuit can earth via the sidelight bulbs, but the side lights cannot earth via the indicator relay. Well that's my take on it :D . But see below :thumbup:
