I have finally got round to almost finishing my XR3i 90 spec project.

Took if to a quick run earlier and noticed a new problem, when I have my lights on my drivers side rear indicator doesnt work, however if I turn my lights of it will work straight away!

Anyone know why?!

Cheers

Bad earth, try cleaning up and using a seperate earth on the rear light bulb holder bits.

Bad earth. Disconnect the rear light plug, and clean away the corrosion, spray with damp start/wd40, reconnect job done.
