Ford Ka rear light issues

Hi All,

First gen (W reg) Ka. When indicating right the nearside brake light flashes alternately with the offside indicator. When braking and indicating right with the headlights on the right the brake lights just flash intermittently (no indicator front or rear works) I've sanded the earth terminal in the boot.

Left indicator seems fine.

Any suggestions (other than never turning right :rotfl: )

    It's still an earthing fault. Get it sorted by an auto-electrician if you can't find it yourself.
    You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose but you can't pick your friend's nose.

    Thanks. Panic over, was a loose connector to the OS cluster. Temporarily fixed for now, but may just need to replace the connector. :beer:
