Technical earthing problems??

[sirblaze]

Ho hum, another problem boo
When i indicate left and apply the brake, the rear left cluster flashes(yes the whole cluster, like mad). I've checked the plug which fits into the cluster terminal and one of the terminals from the black cable looks scorched, and where it sits onto also looks scorched. Any ideas?

Badly corroded connection, either the metal blade in the plug/socket, or around the bulb holder. Or a badly-made bulb -- I had a similar problem with my headlight on a Panda. It turned out that the bulb itself had bad soldereing on the end and it got hot because it couldn't carry the current.

This might also answer the 'fuse blowing' thread...?

Thnx for replying. I've checked all fuses and there's no problemo there. All the lights work, bu they all like to work together. I also checked the terminal in the socket and one in particular is coroded which i tried just rubbing down with a toothbrush lol. No luck as you might have guessed.
