Hi Arcangelo It was quite a while ago now and I can't remember exactly where the dodgy connector was ( I've had a few connector issues over the past few years with the rear lights and indicators and my memory is getting worse with age :) ) but I believe that it's either the one in the boot (in...

Hi Abzmercowner Sounds awfully like an earth fault to me? I'd be inclined to try connecting the earth track on the bulb assembly directly to a suitable earth point (one of the nuts that hold the unit in place would be suitable) . Just to try it if you've got three hands :) ( a helper ) unclip...
