Had a go at indicators on the 90 again last night.
They have been playing up since I got it, when nearside selected off side flash dim as well but just off side selected they are ok.

I checked all the earths/bulb holders and cleaned them up.

If rear off side rear bulb is removed then they are ok but once it is put back it flashes dimly in time to nearside one.

Any ideas please:)
 
You're almost there. You've got a poor earth probably at the rear nearside so that the electricity has found an easier path out through the bulb that is pulsing faintly. Even if the immediate earths look good check that what they're attached to is itself well earthed right back to the battery.
 
Thanks,

I'll have another go at it soon, trouble is that the left indicator flashes good and strong when the offside rear bulb is taken out and still flashes strong when offside bulb put back in, Just that offside bulb flashes dimly when it should be off.

I'm going to check trailer wiring, could it be something there?

Oh and hazards only flash on nearside indicators, I've swapped the switch and its the same so something amiss somewhere.:confused::rolleyes:
 
Update......

Some one had rewired the off side rear indicator and fed the earth wire back into the live feed block so it was only earthed at the lamp to the body and god knows why it didn't blow fuses.

Got good bright crisp clicking indicators now, sorted :D:D
