Bad earth
Soop 17 Mar 2011
Hi guys, bit of a strange one.
I know I've got a bad earth somewhere. When I apply the brakes the left hand side indicator comes on. Doesn't flash just lights up.
I found one earth under the left hand tail light, clean it up. Still have the issue.
Has anyone else come across this issue?

Trailer plug?
or
Try running a dummy earth from the LH brake lamp and see if it fixes it.
I assume the LH brake light lights up dimmer than the RH side.

Hmm, trailer plug is knackered actually. I will look at that right now.
Thanks heaps mate.
Edit: That was it, legend. Two wires in the trailor plug were touching.

Its sorted now, but had been doing it randomly for months... after I hit a wire fence paddock bashing it. Tore the bar clean off, thats why the trailor plug is knackered.
