Re: [DML] Brake Lights



When you say you have soldered your boards, have you soldered ALL the rivets? I ask
because some of the bulb holders act as "bridges" between two tracks, in turn supplying
an earth to another bulb. I too had a similar problem, and the bulb in the holder in
question worked fine, but the rivet on its case supplying earth to another bulb was
dodgy.

I worked this out with a 12" piece of wire, stripped at each end, and touched each rivet
to the surrounding copper track. You soon find the problem

Actually, every time I get in the car at the moment, I stop half a mile down the road to
get out and thump the left hand indicator...:-) I'm lazy with electrical problems 'cos I
understand them!
