Haven't got cable long enough ... yet!

I know everyone's said earth. I done em all and there's nowt wrong with the earths.

Seriously this is turning into one mother F#@king nightmare. Reverse light going out with brake light. I want to die! Any diagrams or sugg estions?

I Gonna try wires. I get wires crossed all the time :0(

Wrong. I put a new lamp unit in. When it was mentioned on here that it was the earth, I took the earth out of the triple bullet connector which earths the side light and reversing lamp and another AND EARTHED THE NEW PRE-wIRED LAMP UNIT TO THE CHASSIS ON IT'S OWN. I still have the same problem...

Just wondering, why would the reverse light come on instead of the brake light when they're wired separately? I've made sure that both the new rear lamp and the reverse light are very well earthed to the chassis.

I am, it's just that it only started happening when my bulb melted in the side light, I put two new ones on, all the connectors are fine and unchanged and tight, and I sanded and cleaned the earth. I had a few days where everything was OK, but now it's back to square one. But there's new things...

I thought it was bulb holders so I've bought new side lights. I'll try all of the above and thanx y'all

I did create a thread last week but no one's answered my update so you might have been able to see it? I'm missing something still. My brake lights work on their own. When I put the side lights on and press the brake pedal, the reversing light comes on and the side lights and brake lights go...

I'm missing something still. So brake lights work on their own. When I put the side lights on and press brake pedal, reversing light comes on and the side lights and brake lights go off. I've moved the earth for the one faulty side light and reversing lamp to a different earthing point (which is...

Someone keeps persuading me to do that. On my tratter they'd look terrible. I don't like em.

I coulda been messing around with that loom all afternoon. The earth wires going to the back of the reversing light bolt weren't earthed, possibly cos of the silent coat black butyl stuff that I'd pierced over the reverse light bolt, albeit a good 6 months ago. I only knew last week when a work...

:D:D

Cheers big ears (it's just a phrase we use up here, so if you've got big ears, I'm not taking the **** :0). I'll go and check all the black wires now.

Rear side lights work. Reverse light and brake light come on together when I press the brakes. When I put car into reverse with brake pedal down, reverse light comes on and brake light goes off. Anyone know why???

good guess.

they'd only smash the glass

He was cleaning it out and left em in the boot. Like I say, the spare is a duffer the garage he bought it off chucked in to make it look cosher

What you're saying is, there's no solution. Just wanted to know if the locksmith was right :0)

Well I never thought I'd be posting on a Hippo thread, but my best pal has a hippo. He's locked his keys in the car and his spare one where the spine key comes out isn't the right one for his car. He's had a locksmith out and he's failed to pick the lock. He's gonna return with better picks on...
