Have you changed the lights for lexus lights or some other lights at all ?

If not, they are just wired up wrong, switch the wires around so that the right light comes on when you want it to !

Water corrosion, check around the plug for it and give the contacts a good clean!

 

[George16v]

Surely that wouldnt make different lights flash Pete, Mind you if no one has touched your lights and they are the originals then .......well dont know, A mystery

You will proberly find that water has got on to one of your earth points for the rear lights.

Try tracing a wire leading from one of the rear light units to the body. You should find a bolt with some wires leading to it, remove the bolt and clean the contact points.

Hope this helps

ive just had this problem tonight mate but my brake lights are on all the time.

i dont have a clue what to do.

check all the bulbs are correct and ok. check the earth to the backlights is ok.if the earth is faulty sometimes the current finds its way back to earth by going through the other bulbs so all the lights start flashing together etc.

get a buzz tester and with a long lead, put on earth for lights and earth on battery. see if u have continuity

just test between the lights earth wire and the vehicle body. the body of the car is used as an earth track back to the battery.
