Rear Lights flashing
« on: 23 February 2009, 16:35:12 »
Hi all, Hope someone can help!. I have a 2.2 gls and when i put my indicators or hazards on my rear indicator light flash intermittently with the rear tail light, I am quite a novice when it comes to mechanics. Is it a simple fix?
Cheers

Check all the connections in the boot area. Remove bulbs, clean the bases and make sure they`re re-fitted correctly

most likely would be a fail.

Do you mean the tail lights flash as well as the indicators?

I suspect an earth somewhere common to both sides, but start by checking all the bulbs are ok - note there are two bulbs for the tail lights each side.

yeah you see that on a lot of fords
mainly the earths are bad and the bulb holder has corrosion on it
best thing is to check all connections and bulbs and earths then go from there
