It's been pointed out to me when reversing off my drive, whilst in reverse and breaking at the same time the passenger side reverse light fades out as if someone is turning it down on a dimmer switch.

I've also noticed that at night when driving with the lights on and I use the indicator, the rear screen heater switch bulb starts to flicker in time with the indicator!

Petty maybe, but it starting to annoy the shit out of me!!

Dodgey earth maybe? But where would you start looking?

Please help.

Cheers buddy,

Where would I find the earth? Bolted to the car body in the boot?

take your rear light clusters out and disconnect, clean the spade connectors with a bit of sand paper, is usually the earth that is corroded will be quite obvious, follow the earth wire to the body, is behind the carpet on the pass side quarter in the boot iirc

no prob mate, while your there make sure u have no signs of water leaking through your lights into your boot, is quite a common prob an can often b the cause
