Lighting loonasey

At up then, can anyone tell me if this often happens to 300's, when I start braking to turn and put my indicator on, the headlights start to flash, but only when braking? Also the running light ( sidelights) aren't working now? Anybody had this disco effect? Tim.

Hello Tim, the first things to test that the the stalks have a good earth, the plastic they there connect to break releasing the earth, but more than likely it will be the fusebox itself, this can be dismantled, cleaned and put back together, the other area is to check the earth on the rear lights (just for good measure as the earths can become bad, and then no lights).

Hope this helps, but i am kinda new to all this too, so i am sure somebody else on here will be able to help further.

Ben

Check the rear light earths, I had this happen years ago on one of my previous 300's.
