Electrics gone mad!

[patc75]

So....
If i put the car into reverse, the SERV and ESP lights come on, when I indicate, the lights will flash with the fog light and the spoiler brake light, if I brake the indicators go funny, it's all gone MAD! Any ideas much appreciated...
Thanks

plug on the rear lights, open it up and crimp the terminals down a bit.

Is it that simple?

Either that or there's an earth point corroded, both the rear lights have earth's on rear panel under plastic trim piece

yup, you might have to clean the contact on the light cluster itself but most of the time just need to crimp the terminal down a touch.

Cheers. Fed this on to the garage. Will see what happens.

What was the cause of the fault? Might help another member out if you post a full explanation of the work that's been carried out to rectify the issue. :up:

The garage replaced a faulty rear light cluster with a new one as it had sent the electrics mad it seems.
