My car is repeatedly blowing the fuse for the indicators / reversing lights. I've checked things out a bit tonight and discovered that the earth on the O/S rear light panel is poor compared with the N/S.

There is also a bit of interaction going on between the various lamps.

I know interaction is a classic sign of poor earthing, but is it likely to cause the fuse blows too?

Cheers!

Neil.

How though? Poor (high) earth impedance = lower current surely?

take the rear lightbulb holders out.give the pcb ends a rub over with a bit of wet & dry see if that works and a squirt of wd40 quick fix into the plastic connection to the pcb board ..may work
