Indicator Help

[deano266]

I have just gone to re install my dash after taking it out to look for the battery drain (indicators were on fused permanent live rather fused ignition live). However, I haven't touched the internal light for the indicator and it now illuminates then brightens when it is flashing and stays lit until I turn the indicator off. This only happens on the left indicator but not the right.

 

Any ideas?

Without looking at it I'm not 100% sure, however in most cases of dim disco light dashboards you've knocked an earth off somewhere which is causing the dash light to earth back through a bulb rather than the proper ground point so it'll be fun then brighten as the relay triggers the earth lead to light the bulb.

Thought it might be. Just wanted someone to tell me so i was double sure
