Recheck your wiring... are you using standard Sierra Indicators/Hazard Switch?

This is the most complex part of the build when building your loom from scratch which we (read as 'I' did

You're welcome to look at our website (if you like) and try to follow the Hazard/Indicator Wiring... it is pretty simple if you follow it logically.

The drawing is in Stuff/Help then click on the picture and it will enlarge.

Hi, It is a good idea to check your earth. Peculiar things happen when there is a bad earth which can cause other lights to glow dimly or rear lights to go out when the brake lights come on. etc etc

Hope this helps

I had a very similiar problem when I got the earth and supply wires switched on one of my front indicators, I have them on bullet connectors to allow me to remove the nosecone, but somehow ended up with them in series between both indicator supplies and had the same symptoms.

Definately check your earthing arrangements. An easy test is to connect a wire direct from the negative side of your battery onto the negative side of the bulb holders and see if you have any joy.

A bad earth causes some funny problems!
