Electrical gremlins

Postby rolla_fxgt » Wed Jan 11, 2006 12:06 am

Hey just a quick q, with i hope a quick answer,

my ae101 fxgt has a rear light warning that comes on from time to time for no apparent reason, i've replaced all the bulbs with the correct new ones. so it aint the bulbs. Any electrical god's have any idea whats up with it, its mildly annoying.

many thanks for any help

are you sure its a rear light warning, and not the handbrake light?

cus the handbrake light comes on when your brake fluid is low

check as both above first. if it is the unit and it is earthed well, also make sure both the bulb holders and the warning unit are corossion free, Ive seen that cause issues.
