Default O/S/R Indicator issue

Can anyone help. When I put on my indicator on O/S and N/S they work fine. But as soon as I put on my side lights or headlight when I put on the N/S Indicator it flashes dimly and the O/S Side light and indicator flash as well. Any suggestions.

NB:- When I put on my hazard lights without the side lights on it works fine all round.

Hi Bruce,

A grounding/earth issue possibly?

Thanks,

Chris

Still having issues and noticed that when I put on my N/S/R indicator my brake and O/S/R indicator also come on but very faint.

Bruce;

+1 on the grounding.

Using the Electrical Guide, identify, locate, and check out the FEM and head/fog lamp chassis ground connections.
Multiple forum members have had issues with these chassis grounding connections.
If these chassis grounds all look good, verify continuity from the FEM and head/fog lamps back to ground.

Best Regards, William

I had many strange electrical issues which were fixed by replacing the ground points behind the headlights, which is why I suggested a ground issue somewhere.

Thanks,

Chris

Tried the FEM and ended up putting into Auto Electricians. Fault diagnosed as REM (Rear Electronic Module)

Bruce; Did you actually replace the REM and it corrected the problems?

Best Regards, William
