Hi,
I have Fiat Bravo 1,9 JTD and one strange problem. Every time i turn on right side repeater while my head lights are turned on, light indicator on display start to blink rapidly (faster than usual), in the same time, front and side repeaters are blinking (a bit faster then usual) but one in the back won`t work, but instead, right back light and fog light are blinking like repeater. When i turn off head lights, it`s working fine. Left one is working correctly no matter if head light is turned on or off. Any idea? I suspect on right head light cable, but it looks fine to me.
 
I think it will be an earthing problem. You need to check and clean all the earth cables including battery negative.

Look at the right back light first, remove all the plastic boot trim covering the light cluster then you will see a bolt in the back panel with lots of black wires connected to it. Try cleaning that one first and double check the bulb.
 
When i remove head light connector, it has four connectors...one of them (right one) looks like it is pushed to the back, it is not lined with other three, can this cause the problem?
 
yep. that`s the one, but i`m talking about down left picture connector (wires going out from it). Upper picture connector is fixed, the one that i`m suspect causing the problem is connected to the wires. I suspect that connector (and it is the ground probably, i said it`s right `cause it is right from my view) is not 'sliped on' to the fixed part when connected, so it cannot make good contact or cannot make contact at all. Problem is, it`s really small, and i don`t know how to push it out. Rubber protecting it from the back side is old and i`m afraid i will tear it... but it seems i have to do this in order to push wire.
 
mine did the same thing the other week, its more than likely the connectors on the rear light. the earths are prone to corroding. just unplug, give a good clean and touch wood it'll work like mine did ;)
 
I manage to solve the problem. It was back light connector, as you mentioned. I decided to check it, as a final, desperate attempt :) . Ground wire connector was practically disconnected, because it was bended. I manage to unbend it, it doesn`t look nice like other connectors, but so far so good. Thanks a lot for your help.
