Tango Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Yep...classic bad earthing problem. Current can't get to ground through the correct route, so finds and alternate route: ie through indicator.Worst comes to the worst, run a wire from the metalwork on the light assy to a point nearby on the frame.

Colin the Bear Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Electricity from the battery goes out through the wires and returns through the frame. (earth). Put a meter on low range resistance to the feed side of the component and to the frame. (Bare metal) You should read the resistance of the bulb.
