Hi
My 90 failed it's MOT on an earth fault. What's happening is when indicating the side lights are going dim then normal. I've tried earthing out the indicators separate and even taking the bulbs out. This causes the side lights to go dim and normal quicker because The indicators are now not working right.
Here's the first problem. Second earth problem I have is that when I put my fan on it makes the temp gauge rise, put my foot on the brake and same thing.
It's had a 200tdi engine fitted in place of the 2.5na engine because I had one spare from another project. Someone I know fitted it for me, but I can't see an earth from engine to chassis. I did used to be able to see it on the old engine. I think it went from sump to chassis.
So the question is, if I fit an earth cable from the engine block to chassis will this solve my problems? If t will where's best to do it to and from?
I can't remember if it used to do this on the old engine, it isn't too bad I don't think, the side light isn't going on and off it's just dimming then coming back.
If it isn't this earth where else do I need to look? Help before I set fire to it!!!
