Major problems with my rear lights, ive got no idea how or when this happened but only noticed tonight when a family member pointed out i had no brake lights pulling into the garage.

So upon further investigation. No brake lights, no hazzard lights. My turn signals work fine...UNTIL, i switch the headlights on then they flash real slow and also flash the other side slightly along with my license plate light, that flashes too.

I didnt check to see if my brake lights work with the headlights switched off though, meaning the car is fine during the day, but as soon as i turn the lights on it all goes wrong.

I cant seem to get a break with the car lately, and im doing a huge Comic Con event with it in just over a week, argh

 

Check your earths for the tail lamp assembly, bad earthing can cause numerous gremlins to appear.

 

I will do thanks.

All ive done lately is swap over the rear latch assembly for an earlier one, deleting the hatch pull down. but the solenoid just plugged in with the one wire and works fine. all the other stuff has been unplugged for years but i will double check those wires incase ive missed one, or snagged something that goes into the light harness.
