Hey guys

I just put some spotlights on and did the wiring it all working good no problem looks good.... then all a sudden my all indicator and left rear break lights don't work but everything else works.
What i did was connected the wires from the head light to a 5 point relay then to spotties and how all wires should be connected from the back of the packet. i undo all the wirings to see if it was the problem but it still didn't work....i have already check the fuse box they are all good no broken fuse I'm so frustrated i cant fig out what the problem is I'm no electrical bloke but I'm trying to learn about it tho.i cant drive it on the road with this problem.

thanks you for your time trying to help me.

Their is only one harnes down to the rear , so if your right rear light works and the left doesn't maybe it's a coincidence and didn't work any way or the bulb is blown or a bad earth.

Do you have a multimeter , if not go any buy a cheap one to test for power.

Does the hazard lights work , firstly check for power at one of the bulbs , if yes bulbs could be blown , bad earth.

If no , go to the fuse box and check for power on both sides of the fuswe which supply's power to the blinkers.

Just by coincidence did you break the front earths for the blinkers and parkers while working at the front of your car.

Some fuses may look good but can be loose on the ends , especially glass type fuses.

Until you test for power we can't help much , Cheers Paul.

the fact that your right brake light is working - id be thinkin its in the wiring or bulb at that light. Even a dodgy earth/negative connection can cause some crazy things to happen and give anyone headaches!

grab a meter and test for power at each end of the circuits then work towards the middle to find where you are losing it...
