Rear Lights out of wack

I don't do email, but the problem is 1 of 2. Pull the bulbs out the rear and see if they are in good condition, if not replace them. If the problem continues you have a ground missing from one or both sockets.

My bet is a bad bulb.

I have looked at all the bulbs, but will check again. I also disconnected the negitive battery & run a cable from the negitive terminal & checked all the components 1 at a time to see if the ground came off, but everything checked out ok. I will check all grounds again.

Thanks for your help.

Sounds like it's time to start checking for shorts.

Do you mean 2 hots touching??

Hi There, I am pretty sure its a bad earth connection. Like dirty to chassis ( high resistance ) and can not carry the current.

You sometimes see this on caravans. They don't ( or did not in my time ) use an earth return wire. They used the metal body as the earth return.

Check also the Battery ground strap to the chassis. Also check the FUSE HOLDERS for loose fuse or dirty connections. But I think the problem is more local to the rear lights.

Enjoy.
