hi there, im having a similar problem. when i was trying to solve a problem with the lights, the battery went flat. ive charged it, the car started then after 10 mins of so it died and the battery is that flat it wont turn over. also another thing that i initially ignored was the warning light for the battery. it would come on when the brakes were applied (stationary, trying to solve rear light issues) im hoping its a duff battery but could be alternator, what you reckon? also i noticed that just before it died i couldnt get the hazards to work, again testing the rear clusters. i still havent solved the lights yet but ive just got new carriers AND stalk. i have a feeling the connectors are tired though as there that loose i dont thing they go onto the prongs (bulb holder) sometimes.cheers
