N/S indicator working fine until I put my foot on the brake. then the indicator slows down and I get a brake light warning on the display.

Is this likely to be a wiring fault, or could it be a fault in the tail light unit itself?

Thanks.

I think the term is interference which is probably caused by a bad earth, hopefully easy enough to sort

Earth fault

Earth fault

Like the Transit I saw yesterday - every time he indicated both reversing lamps flashed in time

In a dusty corner of my mind I have a feeling that Pissy did a similar thing once, before I'd become registered keeper, and I was giving her the once over -  and it was down to having a facelift bulb (with differently placed pins on the bulb) jammed in. Could the wrong bulb cause such as issue?

Only if it causes a short to ground

Corrosion or water ingress, or both (but not necessarily in that order) are the most likely culprits

WD40, emery cloth and A.N.Other light cluster should solve it

It was an earth fault, ran new earth wire, all sorted.

Many thanks to all.
